My name is Drew Smith and in August 2023 I retired as  Professor at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, California where, for 10 years, I was the Director of the Motion Analysis Research Center.

I have a LinkedIn page that describes my professional career to date; click here to view that.

I have been an academic since completing my PhD at the University of Waterloo and my career has taken me and my family all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong (twice!), England, Canada, and the USA.  As a result, I am a citizen of both Canada, my birthplace, and Australia (my first academic posting).
