Alison Sheets earned a PHD in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in sports biomechanics from UC Davis and is a researcher at Nike.
[0:30] Always been passionate in sports and now combining that with a STEM career.
[1:10] Goes into what a Biomechanics researcher does
[2:15] Why mechanical engineering over bio medical engineering – she likes things she can see and goes into what opportunities are available in the work world.
[5:15] How is important is the PHD for the research – her gymnastic coach actually had a PHD in physics. She started teaching at Ohio State University and then an opportunity opened up at Nike to do research and she moved into that position.
[8:30]} What really has Alison fired out, are all the tools now available for monitoring the bodies motion.
[10:15] Artificial Intelligence as it applies to biomechanics – pay attention in your linear algebra class.
[13:20] Getting through college – classes got very hard in college – be patient with yourself and you will learn how you learn.
[15:50] Lightening round – best advice and personal habits for success
[17:15] parting guidance – don’t be afraid to try something new
