My research objectives center on three aims: 1) investigating various training strategies, particularly loaded jumps, to improve performance in athletic populations, 2) assessing and improving movement outcomes in older adults, and 3) incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) with biomechanical analysis of sport performance and training interventions to mitigate injury risks in collegiate athletes.

Students in my lab will develop a deeper understanding of biomechanical principles underlying human movement, as well as collect and process biomechanical data using a force platform.

Additionally, students will help oversee back squat 1-repetition maximums and maximal isometric squat tests (aim 1), perform functional movement assessments (aim 2), and collect data pertaining to sleep, self-reported stress, caloric balance, training volume (aim 3). Students will also be expected to participate in statistical analyses and manuscript preparation.
