Research

Elizabeth Bell's current research focuses on determining how features of movement affect human health and the long-term risk for chronic diseases. Her current work is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts Creative Forces Initiative and focuses on using wearable technology to quantify how movement changes in dance movement therapy may be related to known improvements in rehabilitation goals and clinical behavioral health. She has recently focused on modeling the consequences of pregnancy on knee joint loading and future knee health. She has over 10 years of experience in the biomechanics field. Previously, as a biomedical engineer of the Department of Defense, she examined how prosthetic devices can improve walking mechanics over advanced terrain. As a teacher, she aims to help students succeed no matter what their background is and motivate them to use inquiry to keep learning throughout their own career.
