Dr Noah d’Unienville is the Curriculum Development Lead for the Human Movement program at Adelaide University, supporting course refinement and redesign to strengthen curriculum alignment, digitally enabled learning, student engagement, and the certification of learning. His work also supports innovative assessment and learning activity design, responsible integration of generative AI, and incorporation of the Adelaide Attainment Model.
Noah completed a PhD investigating the use of functional foods for athletes to improve recovery and performance, and has undertaken additional postgraduate research in neuroscience and biomechanics. He completed his Bachelor of Human Movement in 2016 with a major in Exercise and Sport Science, which was followed by an Honours year in 2017, where his project evaluated the use of heart rate acceleration as a marker of muscular fatigue and anaerobic performance. Since 2017, Noah has also tutored in a wide array of courses including Exercise Physiology, Exercise Prescription and Delivery, Human Nutrition, Motor Control and Learning, and Biomechanics of Human Movement.
