Jesse Charlton

Dr. Jesse Charlton is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia. His work focuses on advancing real-world biomechanics research to support musculoskeletal rehabilitation and healthy aging. He leads an interdisciplinary research program that combines wearable sensing, human-interfacing devices, and biomechanics to assess and enhance human movement in everyday environments. By translating lab-based biomechanics into practical, scalable tools, Dr. Charlton is lowering barriers to clinical and real-world movement analysis and treatment approaches, enabling more ecologically valid measurements and personalized rehabilitation. He earned his MSc and PhD at UBC in Rehabilitation Sciences.
