Sean Doherty

Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant

Sean is an Exercise Science M.S. student in the Research concentration. Current research interests are in the biomechanical and physiological effects of fatigue during running events, and how they influence performance and injury prevention. Sean's thesis will investigate whether the OpenCap markerless motion capture framework is able to detect lower extremity kinematic changes during a fatiguing run?
