Biomechanics & R&D consulting
Better studies. Better research workflows.
I'm Pawel Kudzia, an independent R&D consultant and scientist based in Vancouver, Canada. I help health, sport, and engineering teams measure human movement, validate wearable technology, and improve how they run research.
Work with me on a defined project or as an embedded, part-time research and engineering lead.
Discuss a projectBiomechanics and human-subject research
For teams deciding what to measure and how to test it. I turn a product question into a study with clear protocols, measurement methods, and an analysis plan.
Typical deliverables include a study protocol, data collection plan, and a report that connects findings to your next decision.
Wearable systems and validation
For teams moving from a sensor prototype to evidence they can use. I build data acquisition and analysis pipelines, assess signal quality, and compare measurements against reference systems.
Typical deliverables include a working prototype or analysis pipeline, a validation report, and documented limitations.
Research workflow optimization
For research and engineering teams spending too much time on repeated analysis, disconnected tools, or manual reporting. I map the workflow, identify bottlenecks, and build reproducible processes and targeted automation.
Typical deliverables include a workflow audit, reusable analysis and reporting tools, or an AI-assisted development workflow with tests, human review checkpoints, and a documented handover.
Experience behind the offer
Human research and validation. At Meta, I led human-subject studies and motion capture protocols for wearable validation. At Harvard, I worked on soft exosuits for post-stroke walking. At lululemon, I used biomechanical testing to inform sports-bra design.
Engineering and workflow improvement. As CoreMotion co-founder and CTO, I oversee sensing, firmware, electronics, and the web dashboard. I developed an AI-assisted workflow for code generation, testing, review, and documentation.
