About me
John Arnold is a Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Science. Prior to his current position John held a CJ Martin Research Fellowship at the University of Leeds, funded by the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
His main streams of research are:
John has skills in biomechanical (laboratory-based) and clinical research studies using a range of techniques such as 3D motion analysis, computational modelling and medical imaging, to involvement in large scale epidemiological analyses and systematic reviews.
John currently supervises PhD and Masters students in topic areas relating to both sports and clinical biomechanics. For details on current research projects and opportunities for Masters of PhD study, please email.
John has published his work extensively and regularly presents his work at international and national conferences. He has been selected for multiple awards for his research, including from the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (Young Tall Poppy). He regularly collaborates with industry, clinicians and research groups in the U.S., Europe and the UK.
