Professor of Sports Engineering


Summary

Professor Steve Haake is a Professor of Sports Engineering and the Director of Engagement at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University. 

About

Steve has a first-class degree in physics from the University of Leeds and a PhD from the University of Aston, sponsored by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. He was awarded and OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2020 for services to sport. He sits on the Technical Commission of the International Tennis Federation, the English Institute of Sport Technical Steering Panel and is Chair of both the parkrun Research Board and the Active Travel Advisory Board for the Sheffield City Region.

He became a lecturer in mechanical engineering at the University of Sheffield in 1992 after two years as an experimental mechanics researcher. He built up a sports engineering research group in the 1990s, establishing the journal Sports Engineering, the International Sports Engineering Association and the biannual International Conference on the Engineering of Sport. He has acted as a consultant to UK Sport, Callaway Golf in California, Adidas in Germany, and the International Tennis Federation in London. 

From 2006 onwards, he set up the Centre for Sports Engineering Research at Sheffield Hallam University, the largest academic centre of its kind in the world. He has published six edited books of conference proceedings, authored over 200 journal papers on the physics and engineering of sport, and written numerous popular science articles for publications such as the New Scientist.  He is often interviewed in the media and in September 2020 was interviewed by Jim Al-Khalili on Radio 4’s The Life Scientific

He is Founding Director of the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University and now Director of Engagement. This centre seeks to take the technologies and lessons learnt in sport and translate them into technologies that will help people become more active. The grand vision is for the centre to help improve the quality of life of UK citizens by using sport and physical activity as treatment for long term chronic diseases.

Steve  is the author of Advantage Play: Technologies that Changed Sporting History, published by Birlinn in 2018.
