Associate Teaching Professor, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Biography
Craig Goehler has been in academia since graduating with his Ph.D. in 2007. He has taught at four institutions: Northwestern University (as a guest lecturer during his time as a postdoctoral researcher); Valparaiso University (as a tenured Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering); Bethel University (as an adjunct professor); and the University of Notre Dame as an adjunct professor and now as an Associate Teaching Professor in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
Dr. Goehler is also the founder of Human Movement Consulting. Most projects have revolved around exoskeleton analysis for the Army through contracts with Boston Engineering and DEVCOM Soldier Center. His consulting focus is the improvement of human functional activities through the assessment of risk of injury as well as aiding in recovery after an injury or surgical operation.
