ECR Spotlight – Cristian Riveros-Matthey

Abstract

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology during our centenary year but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Cristian Riveros-Matthey is an author on ‘ The effects of crank power and cadence on muscle fascicle shortening velocity, muscle activation and joint-specific power during cycling’, published in JEB. Cristian is a PhD student in the lab of Timothy J. Carroll at The University of Queensland, St Lucia, Australia, investigating self-selected movement patterns under optimal control theory.
