Erin is a Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences, with transdisciplinary expertise in physiology, biomechanics, mathematics, data analytics, and advanced 3D imaging. She received her PhD in skeletal muscle physiology and biomechanics from UWA and then conducted postdoctoral research in the immunology of muscular dystrophy at Curtin University and neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics at Stanford University.

Building upon this expertise, her research aims to gain a comprehensive mechanistic understanding of human physiology, with a specific focus on skeletal muscles and their complex multiscale interactions with other systems. Erin prioritises clinical translation, aiming to improve health across the lifespan through targeted interventions rooted in robust mechanistic understanding.

To date, a primary focus has been applying her transdisciplinary approach to understanding the mechanistic basis of disease progression in patients with dysferlinopathy. Extending this, she is now engaged in a broad research program investigating several biological systems involved in neuromuscular conditions.
