ARENA Member

I am a Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Science (Biomechanics) and Steering Committee Member for the Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition & Activity Research Centre (ARENA). My teaching responsibilities involve course coordination and leadership for Biomechanics of Human Movement and Sports Biomechanics. Biomechanics encompasses various definitions, but fundamentally, it applies physical laws to biological systems. My expertise lies in sport and clinical biomechanics, where I integrate research and industry experience to optimise human performance and health. I use various measurement techniques, computational modelliing and simulation to understand and drive performance improvements and injury prevention. ... Read more

About me

Prior to my current position I held a CJ Martin Research Fellowship in musculoskeletal biomechanics at the University of Leeds, funded by the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC). I have a range of skills and experience in biomechanical (laboratory-based) studies using a range of techniques such as motion capture, various biomechanical instrumentation, computational modelling and medical imaging. I have a particular interest in footwear biomechanics and have been involved in projects evaluating new footwear designs, technology, and athlete/end-user experience with industry partners.

I am a member of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS), International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) and the Footwear Biomechanics Group (FBG), a technical group of the ISB.

I have supervised and mentored Postdoctoral, PhD, Masters, and Honours level researchers in areas relating to sports and clinical biomechanics. For details on our current research projects and opportunities for PhD or Masters, please send me an email.

My research and the teams I have been involved with has been recognised with awards, including from the Australian Institute of Policy and Science. I regularly collaborate with industry, clinicians and research groups in the U.S., Europe and the UK.
