Interests
Justin obtained his BSc and MSc in the department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo. His research has an emphasis on improving digital human modelling approaches in the automotive and military sectors. He also has broader interests in lifting performance / safety, and muscular fatigue development in the workplace.
