Glen Lichtwark
Professor
Glen Lichtwark is an internationally recognised leader in biomechanics whose work focuses on understanding how the human body produces movement and enables diverse performance. His research explores how muscles, tendons, and joints adapt to exercise, and how this knowledge can be applied to improve athletic performance, reduce injury risk or improve clinical rehabilitation. Current interests include how specific training influences muscle and tendon health, how footwear and foot–shoe interactions affect performance, and the use of advanced video based technologies to better understand joint loading and energy use during sport. Glen is currently Head of School, Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, where he oversees education programs in sport and exercise science, clinical exercise physiology, and nutrition and dietetics.
