معرفی
Alison Godwin is a Full Professor in the School of Kinesiology & Health Sciences at Laurentian University, located in Room B242 of the B.F. Avery Physical Education Centre. She can be contacted via email at agodwin@laurentian.ca or by phone at 705.675.1151 ext. 1079.
Her educational background includes a BSc in Kinesiology (cum laude), an MSc in Human Development, and a PhD in Exercise Science.
Dr. Godwin's research is centered on virtual ergonomics to mitigate musculoskeletal risks for workers and athletes. She conducts line-of-sight investigations for underground mining machinery and develops collision avoidance systems. Her work extends to ergonomic evaluations of industrial equipment using computer simulations, eye tracking studies in industrial locations, and three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic analysis of working postures. Additionally, she applies biomechanics to sports and validates ergonomic standards such as ISO 5006-1 in virtual environments.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on line-of-sight analysis in industrial vehicles and the use of virtual reality for ergonomic interventions. The research consistently addresses occupational safety through human factors engineering, with practical applications in mining and material handling.
Dr. Godwin has received the following award:
- OUA Nordic Skiing Coach of the Year (2012)
