Associate Professor of Kinesiology
Dr. Gillette’s research interests include biomechanics, ergonomics, and injury mechanisms. He utilizes video, force, and EMG measurements to analyze human motion, along with musculoskeletal modeling to estimate internal loading on the structures of the human body. He studies athletic movements, industrial job tasks, and activities of daily living. One of his current projects involves assessing a passive shoulder support exoskeleton in industrial manufacturing settings using EMG to quantify effects on muscle activation and fatigue.
