Biography
Glen studied as a post graduate student in MACE on the Mechanical Engineering Design MSc and then stayed on to complete a PhD in the Design Reliable Systems funded jointly by EPSRC & Volvo Cars. Glen left MACE to join the University of Sheffield as a Research Assistant to test and make biomechanical performance improvements to ambulance stretchers. This increased his interest in bioengineering and he moved to the University of Salford as Research Fellow in the School of Health. He worked on the development of rehabilitation aids for stroke patients involving whole body measurement, neuromuscular control and medical device development. He also investigated lower limb biomechanics linked to diabetes and knee-osteoarthritis.
