Maurice Mohr
Maurice was born in Wuppertal, Germany and completed his undergraduate degree in “Sports and Technology (B.Sc.) at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg in 2012. In 2013, Maurice moved to the University of Calgary, Canada where he spent the next six years working under the supervison of Dr. Benno Nigg at the Human Performance Laboratory. Following an internship in 2013, Maurice became a M.Sc. student at the Faculty of Kinesiology that same year and pursued a doctoral degree between 2015-2018. His work in Calgary focused broadly on the study of lower extremity movement and muscle activation during athletic tasks with specific application in the field of knee injury rehabilitation. During this time, Maurice also conducted research for Biomechanigg Sport & Health Research, a company supporting clients in the sporting goods and health industry. Maurice completed his PhD in Biomechanics at the end of 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Nigg and co-supervision of Dr. Carolyn Emery. In 2019, Maurice started a Post-doc position at the Department of Sports Science of the University of Innsbruck where he worked in the “Neurophysiology Research Group” of Prof. Peter Federolf. Currently, Maurice is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Sports Science in Innsbruck and works at the intersection of biomechanics, motor control, and training science to help prevent knee injuries in sports.

David Rodríguez-Sanz
Dr. David Rodríguez-Sanz is a professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain.
His main research interest is focused in the field of foot and ankle, muscle, tendon, biomechanics, sports.
Hugo Sarmento
My work broadly focuses on the performance analysis, training load monitoring, match analysis, small-sided and conditioned games, and physical activity and health. Research in this area has been supported by qualitative and qualitative methodologies, in order to capture the dynamic and multifactorial reality that characterizes performance in sport. Although most of my research focuses on football, I am interested in the study of other sports, especially team ball sports, on which I have also developed several research works.
Aaron T Scanlan
Dr Aaron Scanlan is an Associate Professor in Exercise and Sport Sciences at Central Queensland University Australia. Aaron is the Lead for the Exercise and Sports Science Rehabilitation Research Cluster and an Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Accredited Exercise Scientist and Accredited Sport Scientist. Aaron's research is multi-dimensional, exploring various aspects of exercise and sport with particular interest in applied topics among team sports. Aaron is specifically recognised as a world leader in basketball research and has collaborated extensively with researchers from various countries as well as industry bodies at regional, national, and international levels.
Nuno A Silva
Nuno Silva completed his BSc in Applied Biology (2007) and received is PhD in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells from the University of Minho in 2012. His PhD work consisted on the development of novel approaches for Spinal Cord Injury Repair (SCI) based on biodegradable materials and stem cells. His PhD was carried out in the 3B’s Research Group and in the Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research of the University of Toronto. In 2012 he started a post-doc at ICVS dedicated to study the best therapeutic combination to treat the injured spinal cord.
In 2014 he was able to capture national competitive funding and started his own lab. Currently, his team is fully focused on research about SCI, from solving fundamental questions about how SCI affect the systemic immune response to design technological advanced therapies to treat this condition. The team is presently constituted by 1 post-doctoral fellows, 1 MD-PhD student and 5 PhD students.
He is currently an author of 44 papers published in international peer-reviewed journals and is an author of two patents. Nuno Silva has currently more than 2700 citations and an h-index of 23. Additionally he is author of 7 book chapters and has more than 60 communications in national and international conferences. He supervises/supervised 25 post-graduation students. Finally, during his research career, Nuno Silva was able to capture more than two million euros of competitive funding, either in research projects (1.8M) or salary grants (438K). He was honored with international funding from the Wings For Life Foundation and the La Caixa Foundation.
