About me

 

Clare E Milner PhD FACSM FASB As Gait and Movement Biomechanics Lab Research Director and Associate Professor at Drexel University, I lead biomechanics research that advances scientific understanding while translating findings into practical applications across clinical, athletic, and product development contexts.

 

Research Leadership & Impact

Over 20+ years, I’ve authored more than 60 peer-reviewed publications cited over 5,000 times in running biomechanics, gait analysis, and device and algorithm validation. As lab director, I mentor emerging scientists while leading collaborative projects that integrate motion analysis, wearable sensor technology, and data-driven assessment methods. My work bridges fundamental research questions with real-world implementation, whether advancing theoretical understanding or solving applied challenges.

 

Core Technical Expertise

- Motion Analysis & Biomechanics: 3D motion capture, force platforms, EMG, IMUs and integrated sensor systems for comprehensive movement assessment.

- Research Methods: Experimental design, multi-stream data integration, signal processing, Visual3D, and MATLAB-based analysis for kinematic and kinetic evaluation.

- Technology Development: Validation protocols, algorithm development, and iterative testing for wearable devices and measurement systems.

- Knowledge Translation: Converting biomechanical findings into actionable frameworks for researchers, clinicians, and product teams.
