Jacob Thorstensen

Dr. Jacob Thorstensen is an Assistant Professor at Bond University's Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine, where he conducts research and teaches human neurophysiology. He actively mentors students and collaborates with institutions like Griffith University and The University of Queensland.

• PhD in Neurophysiology (Griffith University, 2018-2021)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship in Clinical Neuroscience (The University of Queensland, 2021-2022)
• Honorary Research Fellow at The University of Queensland (2024-present)

His research spans basic and clinical neuroscience, focusing on motor circuit control, non-invasive neurostimulation (rTMS), and neuromodulator effects. He applies these techniques to study muscle activation in health and post-injury recovery.

Recent publications examine nociceptive stimulation effects on motor units, sarcopenia interventions, and brain injury connectivity. His work bridges neuropharmacology, exercise science, and biomedical research methodologies.

Dr. Thorstensen supervises non-HDR students and contributes to public science education through platforms like The Conversation. His expertise aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals in education and biomedical research.
