About the presenter: Jiro Doke, Ph.D.
Jiro joined The MathWorks in May 2006 as a MATLAB application engineer. His experience in MATLAB comes from extensive use of the product at the University of Michigan for data acquisition, analysis, and visualization. He received his B.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan — both in Mechanical Engineering. Jiro’s Ph.D. research was in biomechanics of human movement, specifically in human gait.
