**About the Special Issue Editor**

**Thurmon Lockhart** is Professor in the Biomedical Engineering and Biological Design program in the School of Biological Health and Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ. He is also Adjunct Professor at the Barrow Neurological Institute, Research Affiliate at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, and Guest Professor at Ghent University in Belgium. His research focuses on the identification of injury mechanisms and the quantification of sensorimotor deficits and movement disorders associated with aging and neurological disorders on fall accidents. His academic grounding in biomechanical modeling, nonlinear dynamics, human postural control, gait mechanics, and wearable biosensor design underscore a fundamental capacity to provide unique clinical solutions to injury prevention utilizing both engineering and biomedical principles. He has translated research findings into practice by reaching a significant number of external organizations and individuals. His outreach efforts have impacted several organizations, including UPS, the US Navy, Los Alamos National Security, the DOE, GE, and BP. In recognition of these scientific achievements, Prof. Lockhart and co-workers were awarded the Alexander C. Williams, Jr., Design Award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society in 2008. His research was recently featured on the PBS NOVA ScienceNow and Good Morning America programs and in the Fortune, AgingWell, Men's Health, and Discover magazines.
