Kevin Cepisul,Master's degree in Biomechanics, class of 2015.
At the crossroads between engineering and biomedicine, this specialization matched his interests: technology, sports, and health.
It was during his engineering studies at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers that Kevin Cepisul heard about the Master's degree in Biomechanics. During his second-year internship at a laboratory in San Antonio, USA, biomechanics seemed like the obvious choice, confirming his decision to specialize in this field in his third year.
My work focuses on preventing injuries and optimizing the performance of professional golfers.
The combination of multiple skills
I
Interdisciplinary and international, the master's program brings together clinicians, engineers, biologists, chemists, and physicians to work on projects dedicated to improving and preventing diseases. The first semester focuses on teamwork and immersion in biomedicine, while the second semester is devoted to organizing conferences with international experts in biomechanics, as well as to research projects. Passionate about sports, the student chose to focus on the biomechanics of golf. "I am working with a doctoral student on movement analysis and muscle activity. The aim of the study is to prevent pathologies and optimize the performance of professional golfers."
Heading for the United States
Once he graduates, Kevin Cepisul plans to try his luck in organizations dedicated to improving athletic performance. "Many California companies specialize in sports biomechanics. They are looking for engineers to join their teams." This master's degree, completed during his final year, will enable him to obtain a dual master's/engineering degree.
For more information: the Biomechanics Master's program is managed by the Georges Charpak Institute of Biomechanics at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Paris.
