Seminar Speaker Tomorrow

Hi All,

Before lecture tomorrow, I just wanted to give you a brief introduction to the speaker, Bob Rich.

Bob has worked in various R&D positions at Reebok for about 25 years and is the current Director of Research for the Futures Group. He is an expert in exercise science and sports engineering, and an enthusiastic and inspirational leader of his team and within the sports tech industry.

We are very excited to have him come speak to the class again.

Best,
Cam
