Principal Investigator

Justin Fernandez graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Engineering Science (1999) and a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Auckland (2004). Between 2005 and 2010, he completed an ARC postdoctoral fellowship at Melbourne University in Mechanical Engineering and was a research scientist at the CSIRO (Monash University). From 2011 to 2013, he was an Aotearoa Fellow funded by the Robertson Foundation in the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. He is a Principal Investigator in the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, where he leads research into computational biomechanics, orthopaedics, sports science, forensics, brain mechanics, and ADHD. His work integrates biomedical imaging, gait analysis, wearable sensors, large population data, statistical models, and computational mechanics. His research strongly focuses on clinician engagement.
