Robert Creath
Associate Professor of Exercise Science
Director of the Lewis Human Performance Lab
If Dr. Robert Creath has a passion, it’s designing research projects.
Creath is adept at compiling scientific literature, identifying measurement and analysis techniques, coding computer programs, and organizing the innumerable details so researchers can get their projects up and running.
He’s currently collaborating with numerous LVC faculty, as well as researchers at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Penn State Department of Electrical Engineering, Temple University Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and the University of Pennsylvania Health System. “This really is the ideal job for me,” Creath said.
His unique skill set grew out of his doctoral studies at the University of Maryland College Park where Creath earned his Ph.D. in Kinesiology, and as a faculty member in the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science at the University of Maryland School of Medicine where he pursued research studies in balance control and fall prevention in older adults.
