Daniel Thomas Chalkley

Daniel Thomas Chalkley is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Behavioural and Health Sciences at Australian Catholic University, within the Faculty of Health Sciences. His research focuses on biomechanics, sports science, and neurorehabilitation, with particular emphasis on motor control, sensor technology applications, and performance analysis in athletes and clinical populations.

Key research interests include gait analysis in neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), visual exploration strategies in sports (e.g., football and hockey), and the biomechanics of athletic movements such as paddling in surfing. He collaborates extensively with researchers like Michael Cole, Thomas McGuckian, and Gert-Jan Pepping on projects involving inertial measurement units (IMUs), biofeedback systems, and algorithm development for movement analysis.

Recent work explores the validity of sensor technologies (e.g., thoracic-mounted IMUs) for gait assessment and sprint performance metrics. His studies also address practical applications, such as fall prevention in older adults and optimizing training methods in elite sports.
