Personal profile
Research interests
Steffi completed both her undergraduate degree (BSc Sport and Exercise Science) and her PhD at the University of Bath.
In collaboration with UK Sport and British Skeleton, her PhD project was focussed on enhancing start performance in the winter sport of skeleton and was conducted in the lead up to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Her thesis focussed on understanding the determinants of elite skeleton start performance to inform training and coaching practices, and to ultimately improve chances of medal success.
Steffi's research is primarily focussed on enhancing athletic performance in sports such as sprinting and skeleton. She is a co-investigator within the Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA), which is a collaboration between the Department for Health and Department of Computer Science. CAMERA aims to develop advanced methods to track and analyse human motion without the need to attach markers. Additionally, Steffi is co-supervising a project funded by the European Space Agency to better understand the laod experienced when performing movements in low gravity situations.
