“Dr Ferber and I are very excited by the opportunity that has been provided by the CDA grant, enabling us to progress our work together into understanding the biomechanics of running related injuries. The visit will help advance the academic relationship between the Kinesiology Department at University of Calgary and the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford”.
