Lecturer in Biomechanics, Edith Cowan University My area of expertise involves the measurement of human movement. This includes extensive experience in the design and development of custom 3-D musculoskeletal models that have been used to assess performance, fatigue, joint function, and injury risk in professional and Olympic-level athletes. My PhD thesis was focused on exploring the influence of fatigue on sprint gait and hamstring injury risk. I previously employed at the Queensland Academy of Sport as a Performance Scientist (Accredited Sports Scientist – Level 2 (ESSA)) where I worked closely with Olympic-level athletes and coaches in Athletics and BMX Freestyle to optimise performance.
