University of Calgary, Canada
Walter Herzog did his undergraduate training in Physical Education at the Federal Technical Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, completed his doctoral research in Biomechanics at the University of Iowa (USA), and pursued postdoctoral training in Neuroscience and Biomechanics in Calgary, Canada. Currently, he is a Professor of Biomechanics with appointments in Kinesiology, Medicine, Engineering, and Veterinary Medicine, and holds the Dr. Benno Nigg Chair in Biomechanics, Mobility and Longevity. He was the Canada Research Chair for Cellular and Molecular Biomechanics from 2001 to 2022 and the Killam Memorial Chair for Inter-Disciplinary Research from 2011 to 2021. His research interests are in musculoskeletal biomechanics with focus on the mechanisms of muscle contraction, especially the role of the structural protein titin, and the biomechanics of joints focusing on mechanisms of onset and progression of osteoarthritis. Dr. Herzog is the recipient of the Borelli Award from the American Society of Biomechanics, the Career Award from the Canadian Society for Biomechanics, the Dyson Award from the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, the Muybridge Award from the International Society of Biomechanics, and received the Killam Prize in Engineering from the Canada Council for the Arts for his contributions to biomedical research. He is the past president of the International, American and Canadian Societies for Biomechanics. He was inducted into the Royal Society of Canada in 2013.
