Dr. William Brent Edwards is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary, a Full Member of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health. He obtained his PhD in Biomechanics from Iowa State University in 2009, an MSc in Biomechanics from California State University, Sacramento in 2005, and a BSc in Kinesiology, Exercise Science from California State University, Sacramento in 2003. His research interests include Biomechanics, Engineering Mechanics, Mechanical Fatigue, and Osteoporosis. Dr. Edwards focuses on investigating the biomechanics associated with load-bearing biological tissues, particularly the consequences of physical activity on musculoskeletal health. His work employs advanced medical imaging and computational modeling to explore tissue damage and mechanical loading effects on tissue quality, aiming to develop treatments and interventions to reduce injury risk and enhance tissue quality. He has contributed to studies on rare fractures in post-menopausal women, exploring the relationship between mechanical fatigue and injury risk.
