Key Research Pillars

Our research sits at the intersection of health and engineering with a strong background in human biomechanics, physiology, and motor control. We explore what humans seek to optimise in various movement contexts (e.g., metabolic cost, muscle fatigue, musculoskeletal loading, stability, pain, cognitive demands), and how we satisfy these competing objectives. We apply the insights gained from this work to improve the quality of life of people with movement disability, to enhance athletic performance and injury prevention and to promote increased physical activity engagement within the general population.
