In this Episode,
Dr. Das talks about some advice on internship, graduate admissions, and finding opportunities.
Sometimes saying "Yes" takes you a long way in life.
My research agenda primarily focuses on physical activity as the cornerstone of chronic disease management and program implementation and evaluation. My current research agenda is focused on college students, workplaces, and underserved populations. As a chronic disease, particularly type 2 diabetes, the epidemic continues, it is a public health priority to develop translatable, community-based interventions that are easily disseminated and sustainable. As such, my research efforts focus on implementing and evaluating cost-effective, sustainable interventions.

In this episode,
Dr. Dai talks about why he pursued a degree overseas. He also touches on the difference between a Master's and a Doctorate degree.
My research areas are injury biomechanics and sports biomechanics. I utilize motion, force, electromyography measurements, and musculoskeletal modeling to understand injury mechanisms and develop injury prevention and performance training strategies. My current research is focused on jump-landing mechanics and anterior cruciate ligament injuries, exoskeleton and low-back loading, strength and balance assessments for collegiate athletes, and biomechanics of strength and conditioning exercises. I serve as an associate editor for Sports Biomechanics and an editorial board member for BMC musculoskeletal disorders and Research in Sports Medicine.

Description:
I'm an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with a passion for education, both of clients and students. I have spent over 9 years lecturing and tutoring at the University level, in a wide range of exercise science and physiology units. Currently I am an Academic at Griffith University Gold Coast, with a primary role of running our Exercise Science practicum program.
When not working (and as much as possible even while working!), you'll find me barefoot. This is typically while I'm surfing, playing beach volleyball or at the beach with our furballs. My work has clearly taught me the importance of work-life balance and a healthy mental state, and I work to maintain this so I can best serve my students and clients. Even with a role teaching, I hope to always stay a student myself and never stop learning and challenging myself.
