Experience
Swansea University
Senior Lecturer / April, 2025 — Present
As a Senior Lecturer in Biomechanics at Swansea University, I contribute to teaching, postgraduate supervision, and research across biomechanics and sport and exercise sciences. I lead applied biomechanics research focused on musculoskeletal injury, rehabilitation, motor development, and sport performance across clinical, athletic, and paediatric populations. My research uses motion analysis, wearable technology, and biomechanical modelling to investigate movement mechanics, injury mechanisms, rehabilitation outcomes, return-to-sport assessment, and movement strategies during sport-specific tasks. I work closely and collaboratively with clinicians, researchers, engineers, and sport performance professionals across national and international networks to develop research with applied impact across sport, health, rehabilitation, and education settings.
Lecturer / January, 2022 — April, 2025
University of Salford
Research Fellow / April, 2016 — December, 2021
During my time at the University of Salford and the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance (MIHP), I developed and conducted applied biomechanics research projects and created biomechanical assessment and analysis packages to support clinical pathways for both clinical populations and elite athletes across a range of sports. I also provided training for technical staff to ensure accurate, reliable, and efficient biomechanical assessments. Alongside this, I contributed to the development and delivery of research projects, co-supervised PhD students, and supported undergraduate and postgraduate teaching activities. I also undertook leadership roles, including co-chairing the Early Career Researcher group and leading the organising committee for the Human Movement and Rehabilitation research group.
