Personal statement
Dr Craig Childs is a Teaching Fellow in Biomedical Engineering, with a background in mechanical and biomedical engineering and a doctorate in the application of implanted devices for assisting human movement. He teaches rigid body biomechanics to all levels, focussing on prosthetics, orthotics and sport rehabilitation applications. Dr Childs manages the department's Motek Forcelink CAREN facility, applying his expertise in use of technology (e.g. VR, IMUs) for upper and lower limb rehabilitation, with a particular interest in stability and cognitive load.
