Allison Clouthier received her PhD in Mechanical Materials Engineering with a specialization in biomedical engineering from Queen’s University in 2018. Following her doctoral studies, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa in the School of Human Kinetics, where she currently serves as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Clouthier's research primarily focuses on understanding how patient-specific factors contribute to the risk of musculoskeletal pathology and the success of treatment outcomes. She investigates the measurement and simulation of knee joint biomechanics and the characteristics of joint geometry that affect function and contribute to conditions such as patellofemoral pain and instability. Her work combines advanced techniques in musculoskeletal simulation, artificial intelligence, and motion capture technologies to study individualized joint biomechanics. In addition to her research, Dr. Clouthier is open to supervising new students in their thesis work.
