Andrew Craig-Jones

Andrew Craig-Jones is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Augusta University's College of Education and Human Development. With a Ph.D. in Exercise Science and Kinesiology from the University of Nevada - Las Vegas (2020), he teaches courses ranging from Biomechanics to Badminton.

• Ph.D. - University of Nevada - Las Vegas (2020)
• M.S. - California State University, Fullerton (2015)
• B.S. - California State University, San Marcos (2013)
• A.A. - Palomar College (2010)

His research focuses on applied kinesiology, examining biomechanical and physiological responses to exercise interventions, with direct applications for athletic performance optimization and rehabilitation programs. Current studies investigate muscle activation patterns, recovery modalities, and gait dynamics in supported/unsupported running environments.

Recent publications (2020-2025) demonstrate expertise in biomechanical analysis of running techniques, compression gear effects, and percussive therapy applications. Methodological emphasis on empirical measurement of physiological responses during exercise interventions.

• Student Research Award - Biomechanics Interest Group (2019)
• CSUSM Student Research Competition Honorable Mention (2013)
• Outstanding Undergraduate Research - CSUSM Kinesiology (2013)

Teaching portfolio includes foundational courses like Structural Kinesiology and graduate-level Trends & Issues in Kinesiology & Health Sciences. Certified in Social/Behavioral IRB protocols through the Collaborative Institute Training Initiative (2022). Actively seeks participants for applied research studies.
