Ben Langley MSc, PhD

Ben is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics. He teaches in the BSc Sport and Exercise Science program within the Department of Sport and Physical Activity. Ben currently leads modules primarily related to Biomechanics. Ben’s research aims to contribute to the development of knowledge which has the potential to enhance people’s functional capabilities and improve quality of life, by maximizing performance, and reducing injury risk or the influence of musculoskeletal conditions. Broadly, Ben’s research interests focus on running, footwear, and clinical biomechanics and he has experience in developing research programs within each of these areas. Ben is particularly interested in functional grouping and understanding why groups of individuals respond in a similar way to specific interventions or conditions through the application of machine learning and waveform analysis. Ben has published 20 peer-reviewed publications and presented at numerous National and International conferences.
