Academic background

Dick completed her PhD in 2016 at Simon Fraser University. [1] Following her doctorate, she undertook postdoctoral training in biomedical engineering at the University of North Carolina, where she investigated how bio-robotic devices affect locomotor energetics and neuromechanical stability during perturbations. [1]

In 2017, Dick joined the University of Queensland. [2] There, Dick established the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory and later became Director of Higher Degree Research at the School of Biomedical Sciences. [3] [1]

Dick’s research and leadership have been recognised with the Queensland Tall Poppy Award, [4] the International Union of Physiologists Junior Faculty Award, [5] and the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology Kevin P. Granata Award. [6] Dick received the International Society of Biomechanics Jaquelin Perry Emerging Scientist Award and has been twice nominated for the Faculty of Medicine Rising Star of the Year Award. [7] [1]

In addition to her research work, Dick was elected a member of the Executive Council of the International Society of Biomechanics and named Chair of the Comparative Neuromuscular Biomechanics Technical Group. [1]
