Patria Hume

Professor Patria Hume studied at the University of Otago in Biomechanics, MSc (Hons) with a double major in Sports Physiology and Sports Psychology University of Auckland, BSc with a double major in Physiology and Psychology University of Auckland, Postgraduate Certificate in Epidemiology (Rollins School of Public Health), Criterion Certification in Anthropometry (ISAK level 4), and ISAK Certification in Photoscopic Anthropometry. 2002 International Olympic Committee Diploma in Sport. Post doctorate studies from 1994 to 1996 were in sports injury biomechanics and sports injury prevention and were conducted at the University of Calgary with Professor Benno Nigg, in Zurich at ETHZ with Dr Alex Stacoff and at the University of Wollongong with Professor Julie Steele. Hume's biomechanics mentors have been Professor Barry Wilson (Otago), Professor James Hay (USA) and Professor Benno Nigg (Canada), with career mentors AUT Vice Chancellor Derek McCormack (NZ), and merchant banker Lex Henry (NZ). Her 1999 PhD thesis was titled Effects of the Aircast ankle brace on the ankle during inversion movement. Hume became full Professor in 2007 at the Auckland University of Technology.^[1] after starting there in 1999. Previous employment was at The University of Auckland and The University of Otago.

Hume's work on head injuries in rugby has been covered extensively in the press.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}

One of Hume's notable doctoral students is Professor Erica Hinckson.^[14]

In March 2021, Hume was created a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Apārangi, recognising that her research has "helped transform concussion injury awareness and management in New Zealand and internationally".^[15]
