Robin Marie Queen is an American academic in biomechanics, whose work is focused on foot and ankle biomechanics, sports biomechanics, and footwear biomechanics. She is a professor in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech.[1]
Queen holds the L. Preston Wade Professorship in Engineering and affiliate professorships in Mechanical Engineering, Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, and Health Sciences.[1][2] Her research interests include foot and ankle biomechanics, sports biomechanics, load and movement symmetry, clinical and field-based assessments, post-operative functional return, and rehabilitation engineering, with research aimed at improving patient outcomes through therapeutic interventions.[3]
Education
Queen received a Bachelor of Science in Applied Science- Biomaterials with a minor in Physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2000. She continued at the same institution for graduate studies, earning a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering in 2001 and a Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering in 2004.[1]
Academic career
Queen began her academic career as a graduate teaching assistant and project coordinator at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She then joined Duke University Medical Center, serving as the Director of the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Lab and as a Medical Instructor in the departments of Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery.[4]
In 2015, Queen joined Virginia Tech University as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, later becoming a full professor. She has also held the position of Kevin P. Granata Faculty Fellow and directs the Kevin P. Granata Biomechanics Laboratory. Additionally, she is an Affiliate Professor at the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.[4]
Queen has participated in the Executive Leadership in Academic Technology, Engineering, and Science (ELATES) Fellowship and the Duke Science & Society SciComm Fellows Program.[1]
She also serves as a Faculty Fellow in the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation at Virginia Tech and Vice President of the Virginia Tech Faculty Senate.[1]
She has received the Jean Landa Pytel Award for Diversity Mentorship in Biomechanics from the American Society of Biomechanics (2023), an Honorary Doctor of Science from Union College, Schenectady, NY (2022), the Adele Boskey Award from the Orthopaedic Research Society (2020), and the AAOS Kappa Delta Young Investigator Award (2017).[1]
Queen's research in biomechanics applies biomechanical principles to athletic performance and rehabilitation outcomes. Her work includes studying foot biomechanics during sports[7][8] and for clinical[9] applications, investigating the effects of footwear on athletic performance[10] and injury prevention,[11] examining the biomechanics of load[12] and movement symmetry,[13] and developing assessment tools for clinical and field settings.[14][15]
Leadership and service
Queen has chaired committees such as the Orthopaedic Research Society's Women's Leadership Forum Committee (2015–2017) and the American Society of Biomechanics' Diversity Committee (2017–2020).[1]
