Personal profile
Research interests
Steffi is a Senior Lecturer in Biomechanics at the University of Bath. In her research, Steffi analyses the motion and forces produced by athletes to try to unpick the biomechanical factors underlying the most elite performances and how these can be improved. Additionally, Steffi has research interests in understanding the load experienced during different tasks for training monitoring or rehabilitation purposes, and developing markerless motion analysis techniques to enable athletes to be analysed 'in the wild'.
