Dr. Matt Wittstein
Research/Creative Interests
I have broad interests in Biomechanics, Dance Science, and Neuroscience. Using a dynamic systems framework, I enjoy studying how humans move, learn to move, and control movement. My research can be applied in a variety of contexts, including injury risk, rehabilitation, and performance, among others.
What types of “data” do you commonly use?
I enjoy thinking about how to measure human movement and behavior. I measure a range of physiological systems (cardiac, respiratory, postural control, motion analysis, and brain activity, to name a few). I often use quantitative metrics from surveys and physical measurement. I analyze data using various statistical methods and am most comfortable with ANOVA and Regression analyses.
What types of collaborations are you open to?
All
Student Qualifications
- Self-motivated
- Interest in neuroscience, dance science, or biomechanics
- Any stage of academic career welcome
- I value creativity
A little bit more info:
I really enjoy helping students develop ideas and support their goals. I’m open to many projects, but am best suited to support students interested in studying human movement and behavior from a physiological perspective.
