Robin Marie Queen PhD, FACSM, FIOR, FASB, FAIMBE, is a distinguished expert in biomechanics, particularly in foot and ankle biomechanics, sports biomechanics, and footwear biomechanics. She currently holds the position of Professor with Tenure in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech. Additionally, she serves as the L. Preston Wade Professor of Engineering and holds affiliate professorships in Mechanical Engineering, Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, and Health Sciences.[1]. Her research focuses on load and movement symmetry, clinical and field-based assessments, post-operative functional return, and rehabilitation engineering, with the goal of improving patient outcomes through therapeutic interventions.
Education
[edit] |
Queen completed her Bachelor of Science in Applied Science with a minor in Physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2000. She continued her studies at the same institution, earning a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering in 2001 and a Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering in 2004.
Academic career
[edit]Queen began her academic career as a graduate teaching assistant and project coordinator at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She then joined Duke University Medical Center, where she was the Director of the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Lab and Medical Instructor in the Departments of Surgery and Orthopaedic Surgery.
In 2015, Queen joined Virginia Tech as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, later becoming a full Professor. She has also held the position of Kevin P. Granata Faculty Fellow and currently directs the Kevin P. Granata Biomechanics Laboratory. Additionally, she is an Affiliate Professor at the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.
