Biography
"Mr Andrew Todd completed his Master of Science degree in Ergonomics in the HKE department in 2001 (Project Title: Selected Physiological and Psychophysical Responses of Infantry Males and Females Marching Under Varying Combinations of Speed, Load and Gradient). He is a currently a lecturer in the Department of Human Kinetics and Ergonomics, where he lectures primarily in the area of biomechanics and gait analysis. He is also responsible for teaching courses in fundamental biomechanics and functional anthropometry. He is the Webmaster for the HKE department and is the third year course co-ordinator.?His main research interests are the biomechanical impact of manual materials handling devices commonly used in industry and the determination of the financial benefits of Ergonomics interventions."
