Kim van Schooten is a Conjoint Associate Professor at UNSW Medicine, specializing in the School of Population Health. He obtained his PhD in 2014 from the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He has also held postdoctoral fellowships, including at Simon Fraser University and the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility at the University of British Columbia in Canada. Kim's research is focused on balance control and fall risk in seniors. He is particularly interested in the underlying mechanisms of balance impairments and methodologies for ambulatory monitoring of mobility using wearable sensors. His work combines experimental and epidemiological studies to explore how individuals maintain and recover balance during daily life activities, ultimately aiming to improve understanding of falls and to identify targets for prevention strategies for mobility impairments. Kim actively supervises students and postdoctoral researchers, welcoming those interested in the intersection of neuroscience, biomechanics, and public health.
