Biography

Dr. Jonathan Singer's research aims to understand the fundamental neuromechanical mechanisms by which humans maintain stability, particularly in clinical populations such as older adults and stroke survivors who experience challenges in stability control. The long-term goal of his research is to enable the development of targeted interventions and technologies to help individuals maintain or regain independent mobility and reduce their risk of falls. He completed a Post-doctoral Fellowship in Neuromotor Control at the Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery, Sunnybrook Research Institute, Toronto, in 2015. He earned his PhD in Biomechanics from the University of Waterloo in 2012. Dr. Singer has received multiple awards for teaching excellence at the University of Manitoba and has been involved in various funding sources, including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada and the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). His teaching courses include PERS 1500: Foundations of Physical Education and Kinesiology, KIN 2330: Biomechanics, KIN 4330: Advanced Biomechanics, KPER 7202: Instrumentation in Signal Processing for Human Movement Science, and KPER 7004: Quantitative Methods in Research Design.
