Glen Lichtwark

Glen Lichtwark serves as an Honorary Professor and Director of HDR Students at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences at the University of Queensland. He is also an Affiliate of the Centre for Sensorimotor Performance. With over 150 journal articles to his name, Professor Lichtwark is a leading researcher in biomechanics and human movement science.

His research focuses on muscle-tendon mechanics, neuromuscular function, and human movement analysis. Using advanced techniques including ultrasound imaging, motion capture, and computational modeling, he investigates how muscles and tendons work during various activities such as walking, running, jumping, and cycling. His work has significant implications for sports performance, rehabilitation, and assistive device design.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on muscle energetics, tendon mechanics, and the application of exoskeleton technology. His research spans from fundamental muscle physiology to practical applications in sports and rehabilitation. He frequently collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions and disciplines, demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of his work.

As Director of HDR Students, Professor Lichtwark plays a key role in supervising and mentoring postgraduate research students. His leadership in the Centre for Sensorimotor Performance contributes to advancing knowledge in human movement science and its applications.
