Scott Crawford is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Kinesiology and Orthopedics & Rehabilitation. Prior to joining the faculty at UW-Madison, Dr. Crawford received degrees in mechanical (Cedarville University, BS) and biomedical engineering (The Ohio State University, MS, PhD) and additional training in the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab. Dr. Crawford joins the Kinesiology Department after completing his postdoctoral training as an NIH-funded TL1 Postdoctoral Trainee in the Department of Orthopedics & Rehabilitation and Badger Athletic Performance lab at UW-Madison. Dr. Crawford’s research is focused on how biomechanical tissue properties change following musculotendinous injury and how quantitative knowledge of these tissue properties can be used to accelerate and optimize healing. Ultimately, his work intends to inform evidence-based injury prevention and rehabilitation approaches.
