Biography

Since completing my PhD in biomedical engineering in 1987 from the University of Salford, UK, I have been lecturing in the areas of biomechanics, anatomy and research methods for the last 30 years. In this context I have worked at three Universities in the United Kingdom (Brunel, Edinburgh and Exeter) and two here in Australia (School of Health Sciences, University of South Australia and currently the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Adelaide). My main areas of research have been the topics of injury prevention/mechanism of injury and sports performance/technology in a number of different areas (golf, athletics, low back pain, gait analysis in children and adults and quantitative assessment of human knee instability). At the University of Adelaide I have been the School's Director of Research (2015), the School's Director of Learning and Teaching (for 6 months in 2017 while the current Director was on study leave) and the Program Coordinator for the bachelor of engineering (mechanical and sports) 4-year undergraduate professional degree (2009-2017), which is the first of its kind within Australia (established in 2008).
