Expertise
Research Focus / Works in Progress
Human movement biomechanics with an emphasis on injury prevention: My research involves using custom and commercial instrumentation to measure the motion of and forces applied to the human body. This data helps us understand why musculoskeletal injuries develop as well as how we might be able to predict and prevent injuries throughout our society.
