A career shaped by biomechanics, standards and applied technology.

Tim Doyle is Professor of Human Performance & Biomechanics at Macquarie University. His work connects movement science, occupational standards, performance research and software development.

Biomechanics as the starting point.

Tim's work began with biomechanics, injury prevention and the measurement of human movement.

That foundation remains central to his research across sport, tactical performance, occupational settings and applied human performance.

From measurement to standards.

A major part of his work has focused on physical employment standards for demanding roles.

This includes connecting job demands, assessment methods, fairness, capability and organisational decisions in settings where physical readiness has real consequences.

Applied work in demanding settings.

Tim's research has moved between laboratory, field and operational environments.

The common thread is practical interpretation: understanding what the evidence shows, what it does not show, and how it can be used well.

Technology as a continuation.

Software development has been part of the same trajectory rather than a separate interest.

From TLAD Solutions and performance analysis tools to Forge Human, the work has focused on making technical information easier to apply.
