I am now studying for a PhD focusing on the kinematics, motor control and motor organisation of the basketball layup shot as a variable and unpredicted task. My research looks to understand how motor behaviour is influenced in the face of these challenges. I hope that my findings can inform coaches and players of what mechanical variables govern a successful layup outcome.

Since Biomechanics is a discipline that heavily relies on technology, I learned how to use the different hardware and software typically employed in my current research, such as motion capture systems, force plates, electromyography (EMG) and computer simulation modelling. The module focused on the delivery of data analysis methods in Biomechanics was also an essential skillset that I have carried throughout my higher education rely upon for my research.
