Mark A Robinson

Reader of Biomechanics

Liverpool John Moores University

Biography

Mark is a dedicated teacher, researcher and mentor. He has taught undergraduate and postgraduate biomechanics courses at LJMU for >18 years.

His research applies innovative methods and perspectives to problems in sport and clinical biomechanics. Current research themes include knee injury risk and prevention, markerless motion capture, wearable technology and data science for training load monitoring. His research collaborations integrating Statistical Parametric Mapping into biomechanics challenges conventional biomechanical data analysis and experimentation.

Mark recently hosted the 40th Conference of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports at LJMU in Liverpool.

New projects, discussions, collaborations, students welcome.
