Scott L. Delp

Scott L. Delp is an American academic who is the James H. Clark Professor of Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University.[1] He is the Founding Chairman of the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford,[2] the Director of the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR),[3] Simbios, and the NIH Center for Physics-Based Simulations of Biological Structures at Stanford.[4]

Delp developed the OpenSim software for biomechanical simulation. He also invented technology for surgical navigation that is now in wide clinical use.[5] Together with Mark Schnitzer and their students, Delp developed novel microendoscopes that allow realtime in vivo imaging of human muscle microstructure.[6] Together with Karl Deisseroth, Delp pioneered the use of optogenetics to control activity in the peripheral nervous system leading to important inventions for treating paralysis, spasticity and pain.[7]

Delp was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 2016 for computer simulations of human movement and their applications to treatment of clinical movement pathologies. He is also a Fellow, American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineers, American Society of Biomechanics, and American Society of Mechanical Engineers.[8]
