Dr. Jodie Wills is a biomechanics lecturer and an early-career research in the Department of Health Professions at Macquarie University. Jodie earned her PhD from Macquarie University, focusing on neuromuscular and biomechanical sex-specific adaptations to targeted physical training for military load carriage. During her doctoral studies, she was a 3-Minute Thesis University Finalist, a New South Wales semi-finalist at the Fame Lab live Scientific Communication Competition, and was the student representative for the Australian and New Zealand Society of Biomechanics for 3 years. She has a Master of Research degree in Sport Science and a Bachelor of Science degree with honours in Sport and Exercise Science, both from Nottingham Trent University (England, UK). She is also an accredited level 2 Strength and Conditioning Coach. Jodie’s research interests are in the optimisation of physical training and neuromuscular and biomechanical sex dimorphism in military and sporting applications.
