Dr Sam Allen
Senior Lecturer in Biomechanics
Areas of expertise
Biomechanics and human locomotion; Fitness equipment and performance impact.
Profile
Dr Allen's main research interests lie in the understanding of technique and the optimisation of performance in human movement using computer simulation. He is also interested in increasing the biofidelity of computer models to better represent the systems that are being simulated. Sam applies these techniques primarily in human locomotion; specifically running and sprinting and in dynamic jumping.
