About

Dr Simon Choppin is an Associate Professor in advanced human measurement in the Sports Engineering Research Group. As leader of the Morphology research theme he works on new methods of measuring the human body, for the purposes of health and performance assessment. His research interests also include physical system modelling, computer vision and high-speed video. In addition to working with many international companies in the sport and health domains, Simon has taught on the MSc in Sports Engineering for over 10 years. He leads the Industry linked project module, where students have the opportunity at working on live projects linked to a sporting company. He is a passionate advocate for PhD research and student development and was one of the first UK Council of Graduate Education’s accredited PhD supervisors in the country.
