Profile
Desney Greybe completed a Bachelor of Science at The University of Auckland in 2007, double majoring in Sport and Exercise Science and Psychology. He received a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from The University of Auckland in 2008. His Honours dissertation used kinematic, biomechanical analysis to evaluate how effectively particular psychological interventions improved golf-swing technique.
In 2010 he began a doctoral degree at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. His research project involves developing a finite element model of the human forearm in order to calculate distal radioulnar joint forces and the resulting deformation of soft-tissue structures associated with the joint. This information will benefit orthopaedic surgeons and clinicians designing interventions for patients with disorders of the forearm and hand.
