About

Aimee is a Senior Lecturer in Sports Technology and Biomechanics as part of the [Sports Technology Research Group](https://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/sti/).  Her research examines the human-sport equipment interaction using biomechanics and advanced data analysis techniques in particular for women.    Aimee graduated from the University of Bath in 2008 with a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science including a professional placement. During her placement year, she worked as a research assistant in the Biomechanics Research Lab at the University of Wollongong, Australia.  Aimee went on to graduate with an MSc with distinction in Sports Biomechanics at Loughborough University before pursuing her PhD titled ‘Coach informed biomechanical analysis of the golf swing’ at the Sports Technology Institute.  Whilst at Loughborough Aimee also held a post as an Institute of Sport Research (ISR) Research Associate with Nanyang Technological University Singapore prior to becoming a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the [Human Performance Laboratory](https://www.biomechanigg.com/testimonials) at the University Calgary, Canada.          Over her research career, Aimee has worked with a number of industry partners such as PING, Lululemon, adidas, CCM, C-Motion (Visual3D) on a variety of research projects delivering biomechanics expertise to drive product development in sports/areas such as running, golf, ice hockey skates and sports bra design.
