As an Assistant Professor in Biomechanics at the Department of Human Movement Science and a Clinical Scientist at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, I combine academic and clinical perspectives in my teaching. My courses provide students with fundamental knowledge of biomechanics and musculoskeletal modelling, specifically in the context of clinical patient care and rehabilitation.

Students explore the biomechanics of healthy and pathological locomotion, gaining skills to quantify movement, joint and muscular load, and performance through musculoskeletal simulations. They learn computational approaches to investigate the biomechanical functions of the living body, linking theoretical concepts with clinical applications.

Biomechanics is a rapidly growing and multidisciplinary field, involving collaborations across engineering, physical therapy, ergonomics, sports science, human movement science, and medicine. Through computer tutorials and practicals, students actively analyze biomechanical data and critically engage with scientific literature to address fundamental and clinical questions.
