Researcher biography

Dr Eugene Poh is a Research Fellow in the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Science. He holds a PhD in Sensorimotor Neuroscience from the University of Queensland, with a multi-disciplinary background in physical education, exercise and sports science, cognitive science and neurophysiology. Prior to joining the University of Queensland, he pursued postdoctoral studies in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University and was a lecturer in motor control and learning in the Department of Health Sciences at Macquarie University. Dr Poh's research is dedicated to advancing our understanding of human motor control and learning through innovative research projects. He integrates research expertise in motor psychophysics, computational modelling, non-invasive brain stimulation and neuropsychological techniques to reveal fundamental principles of how the brain learns new motor skills and represents what it learns.
