Profile

Ed received a BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Nottingham and a PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Strathclyde. Subsequently, he spent some time as a researcher in the Netherlands and then the USA, working on musculoskeletal modelling of the shoulder and upper limb. He was appointed as a Lecturer in Biomechanics at Aberystwyth in September 2009.

Research

Principal Areas of Interest:

Ed’s research interests are in biomechanical modelling of the upper limb, human movement analysis and rehabilitation. He is interested in the use of FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) in the restoration of arm function, command and control of FES systems and the mechanisms governing shoulder stability and control in general.
