Rate My Professor Nikolaos Stergiou

Stergiou's research centers on biomechanics, with a specialization in human movement variability and nonlinear dynamics, influencing rehabilitation, robotic surgical training, and treatments for conditions like peripheral arterial disease. He has obtained over $40 million in funding from agencies including NIH, NSF, and NASA, authored four textbooks—Biomechanics and Gait Analysis (2020, Academic Press), Advice for the Novice Investigator: Examples Taken from Movement Sciences (2019, CRC Press), Nonlinear Analysis for Human Movement Variability (2017, CRC Press), and Innovative Analyses of Human Movement (2004, Human Kinetics)—and published over 250 peer-reviewed papers, amassing more than 23,000 citations with an h-index exceeding 70 on Google Scholar. His contributions have earned him Fellowships from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2025), American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (2017), American Society of Biomechanics (2017), and National Academy of Kinesiology (2011), as well as Fulbright Scholarships to Portugal (2016) and Greece (2017). Stergiou has mentored over 60 graduate students and postdocs, elevating UNO to a global leader in biomechanics through pioneering infrastructure and international collaborations.
