Julie N. C么t茅
Professor; Director, Sylvan Adams Sports Science Institute
I am a Full Professor in, and currently the Chair of, the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education (Faculty of Education). My research focuses on quantifying how muscle fatigue affects our patterns of movement in a variety of contexts such as work and sports, and how personal factors such as sex, gender and age, affect these behaviors in our everyday lives. I am passionate about how research with state-of-the-art instruments and advanced computational methods allows us to uncover what the eyes can鈥檛 see, so that we can reach a new understanding of human behavior, and about sharing this passion with students and colleagues. I particularly love accompanying research trainees in the pursuit of their goals and to help them develop their self-confidence and their own voice along the way.
To me, mentorship is an opportunity to listen, relate to others, and share the big and little tips that I have learned through experience. It is also an opportunity for me to continue to develop and push myself, and yet another way that helps me renew my sense of purpose and commitment to a job that I continue to be passionate about.
