Teaching into both the Pedorthic Diploma and Foot Care Microcredential programs.

Oversee brand messaging and content, technological innovation, and product fabrication.

1. Supporting integration and development of technology into delivery of pedorthic and other foot orthosis related services, including scanning, 3D printing, 3D CAD work, etc. Involved in grant writing, tracking SR&ED credits, working with external sources (for example: post secondary engineering and mechatronic departments) on project development and seeking new community contacts.2. Development and analysis of a electronic medical data to address questions on clinical efficacy and economic impact of pedorthic service delivery. 3. Refine/optimize the parameterization of patient information and how it is documented in a EMR to complement defined analytical objectives, and assist in developing further tools in to support needs of the industry and growth of the EMR database.4. Working with existing and new research partners to build Kintec’s presence in ongoing pedorthic and foot orthosis research.5. Assist in ongoing development and training of Kintec pedorthic team. Present research, lead research discussions, bring academic studies into the clinical world (assessment techniques, functional testing, orthotic design, patient communication, etc).

MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERINGBreakthrough technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, robotics, Industry 4.0, and the internet of things (IoT), are profoundly changing the way we live, think, and work. Our physical world is quickly transitioning into a cyber world. Mechatronics, as a multi-disciplinary subject combining three technical fields of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering, will provide the critical link between the cyber and physical worlds through the advancement of sensing, actuation, and intelligence technologies.The highly integrated mechatronic systems engineering approach creates smart, innovative and sustainable technology solutions, such as drones, robots, autonomous vehicles, sensors for space exploration, smart healthcare devices, smart manufacturing, additive manufacturing, fuel cell systems, thermal and electrical micro-grids, and agri-tech.But it’s not all about robots and code. It's about shaping societies, transitioning to a more sustainable world and improving everyday life through the use and creation of technology. We are trying to develop technology for social good.

Coordinating the first ever Health Canada regulated safety trial on a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of ultrasound-guided fibroblast injection for the treatment of chronic, recalcitrant mid-portion Achilles tendinosis.

Using contemporary clinical management software in a sports medicine setting to optimize clinical database development. Leader in industry partnered research with contracts such as with Nike Inc. and Replicel on footwear and drug development trials.

Collaboration with the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre and Prof Jack Taunton. Industry Partners:Nike Inc. (Since 2000) - Over $500,000 in funding to investigate the clinical implications of footwear design, with a particular focus on endurance road running. WorkSafeBC (Since 2001) - One Development Grant, One Operational Grant and One Innovation at Work grant to investigate both physiotherapy and dextrose prolotherapy based treatments for overuse tendinopathy.

1. Workload: 80% Research / 20% teaching. Research focus was on development of novel methods to estimate localised tendon strain using a software package called Echosoft. 2. Supervised 4 PhD students and 1 MSc student who were collectively working to validate the use of Echosoft at selected tendon sites throughout the body. 3. Co-investigator on an effectiveness trial of physiotherapy and dextrose prolotherapy used singly or in combination for refractory Tennis Elbow.

1. Assist design, operational and data management, and analytics of large scale clinical trials in physiotherapy and regenerative medicine. 2. Develop methodology for medical imaging-based technologies to estimate mechanical properties of soft tissue. 3. Supervise graduate students at the Masters and Doctorate level.
