Biography

Dr. Jessica Selinger is an Associate Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University. Her research focuses on the fundamental principles that shape how humans move and the application of these principles to improve mobility and overall health. She combines theoretical modeling, lab-based experiments, and data-driven approaches to study human locomotion and learning. Her particular interest lies in understanding the neuromechanical control of human walking as it adapts to changing tasks, environments, and body dynamics. The ultimate aim of her work is to design novel rehabilitative strategies and wearable technologies to assist individuals with mobility impairments. Dr. Selinger is currently accepting graduate students at both the Master’s and PhD levels, encouraging applicants to apply for the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program and the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. She has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals, contributing significantly to the fields of biomechanics and motor control.
