معرفی
Curtis Hooper is a Research Fellow and University Teacher in Sports Technology at the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering, Loughborough University. He holds a MMath (First Class Honours) and PhD from Loughborough University, where he was awarded prizes for academic excellence. His career includes a Research Associate role in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and current dual roles focusing on sports technology research and education. Hooper’s work bridges applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, and sports engineering, with a particular emphasis on mathematical modeling in sports performance and wave phenomena.
Education:
- MMath, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University (2017)
- PhD in Mechanical/Materials Engineering, Wolfson School, Loughborough University (2021)
Research interests include mathematical modeling of sports equipment (e.g., Tenpin bowling lane dynamics, oil patterns), wave mechanics (undular bores, fracture dynamics), and statistical methods in education. His studies combine theoretical analysis with experimental validation, yielding insights into both sports technology optimization and fundamental wave behaviors.
Key achievements include awards for academic distinction and contributions to peer-reviewed journals. His current position at the Sports Technology Institute reflects his dual focus on advancing sports science and pedagogical innovation.
