Rate My Professor Celeste Coltman

Coltman leads the Biomechanics Research Innovation Challenge, mentoring high school girls in biomechanics, and was the inaugural Early Career Research Representative for the Australian and New Zealand Society of Biomechanics since 2019. She is involved in projects such as promoting health and performance of elite and youth female football athletes, evaluation of scaled plate sizes for ballistic protection in the Australian Defence Force, and determination of thoraco-abdominal organ locations for body armour design. Key publications include Breast volume is affected by body mass index but not age (2017), Three-dimensional scanning in women with large, ptotic breasts: implications for bra cup sizing and design (2017), Does breast size affect how women participate in physical activity? (2019), Effect of Torso and Breast Characteristics on the Perceived Fit of Body Armour Systems Among Female Soldiers: Implications for Body Armour Sizing and Design (2022), and How Do Fluctuations in Endogenous Sex Hormones Affect Breast Pain in Female Athletes? (2025). Her work investigates barriers to physical activity, injury risks, postpartum running biomechanics, and pelvic floor dysfunction.
