Having joined SERG as a PhD student in 2010, Dr Marcus Dunn is sadly leaving SERG to take up an exciting new post at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Before he left, we asked Marcus to give an overview of how he has developed his career as a Sports Engineer. In his video for our YouTube channel, Marcus discusses how his career started and the types of research projects he now works on. He also discusses his educational choices, what his career path looks like, and offers advice if you’re hoping to pursue a career in Sports Engineering.

To keep connected with Marcus, please follow him via the contact points on Linktree.
