Dr. Singh received his Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science from Rutgers University as well as a master’s degree in motor control and learning from Columbia University. After playing volleyball briefly overseas, he continued to pursue his research interests by completing a Doctor of Philosophy in motor control and learning from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Harjiv’s research agenda is focused on how different practice variables such as attention and motivation effect movement variability as they relate to skill development and expertise. In addition to developing a deeper understanding of these individual differences in motor learning, Harjiv’s research has also focused on practical strategies that can be used practitioners to augment current injury prevention and rehabilitation interventions.
