RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research areas are injury biomechanics, sports biomechanics, and ergonomics. I utilize motion, force, electromyography measurements, and musculoskeletal modeling to understand injury mechanisms and develop injury prevention and performance training strategies.  My current research is focused on jump-landing mechanics and anterior cruciate ligament injuries, exoskeleton and low-back loading, and balance and fall prevention in workers and older adults. I serve as an associate editor for Sports Biomechanics and an editorial board member for BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders and Research in Sports Medicine. I also serve as a Vice President (Research & Projects) for the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports.
