John H. Challis

John H. Challis is a Professor of Kinesiology at The Pennsylvania State University's College of Health and Human Development. His research focuses on biomechanics, particularly the coordination and function of the musculoskeletal system.

• Ph.D. in Biomechanics (1991) from Loughborough University of Technology, UK
• B.Sc. (Honors) in Biomechanics (1984) from Loughborough University of Technology, UK

Challis specializes in measurement and simulation modeling of the human musculoskeletal system, with emphasis on improved biomechanical measurement protocols and examination of segmental inertial properties. His current research projects aim to better understand muscle function and coordination in vivo through advanced simulation techniques.
