erin.feser@belmont.eduBiography
Dr. Erin Feser joined the Department of Sport Science as an Assistant Professor in the fall of 2022. She earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Auckland University of Technology in Sport and Exercise; a Master of Science degree from Miami University (Ohio) in Exercise and Health Studies; and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Purdue University in Health and Fitness.
Previously, Dr. Feser was the Director of Education at Noraxon USA following faculty appointments at Arizona State University and Miami University. She currently serves as the Head of Science at Omorpho, a specialty fitness apparel company. As an applied sport biomechanist, Dr. Feser's research focuses on the use of wearable resistance as a performance training tool. She has been a member of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports since 2010.
