Biography
Dr Daniel Glassbrook is a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering, and primarily teaches Biomechanics.
Dr Glassbrook is passionate about Sports Performance, and research in Biomechanics and Sports Science. He completed both his Undergraduate and Master’s degrees at The Auckland University of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand. He then moved to Australia, and gained his PhD from Macquarie University in Sydney, where his research focused on the use of wearable technology such as GPS and inertial measurement units to measure and understand the running demands of professional rugby league match-play, so that this information could better inform practitioners and high-performance staff when making decisions around player-load.
In the UK, before joining Aston University, Dr Glassbrook worked at York St John University as a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science, and as the First Team Sports Scientist for the Newcastle Falcons in Premiership Rugby, and as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Sports Related Concussion at Durham University.
