Morgan Sangeux PhD

Morgan Sangeux is a mechanical engineer by training who decided to further his studies in human biomechanics. After completing his Ph.D. in France, he took up a research and development engineering position in the Gait laboratory at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne in 2007 and in 2010 became the chief biomedical engineer. From 2014 to 2018, he was also a research fellow at The Murdoch Children's Research Institute. He has now relocated to France where he provides independent services in research on multiple topics including biomechanics, movement or gait analysis, and machine learning or statistical data analysis applied to medical images or biomechanics data.

Morgan Sangeux created biomechanical models of the human body and developed new medical imaging techniques to validate them. His most recent project consists of merging gait analysis data with medical imaging to understand how torsional deformities of the femur affect muscle and joint contact forces during gait. He also developed an interest in statistical analysis and data mining and was leading an NHMRC project (2016-2018) to create a computer-aided decision system for gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy.
