She currently holds the position of Professor with Tenure in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech.
[1][2] Her research focuses on load and movement symmetry, clinical and field-based assessments, post-operative functional return, and rehabilitation engineering, with the goal of improving patient outcomes through therapeutic interventions.
[1] Queen began her academic career as a graduate teaching assistant and project coordinator at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
[1] During her career, Queen has participated in professional development programs, including the Executive Leadership in Academic Technology, Engineering, and Science (ELATES) Fellowship and the Duke Science & Society SciComm Fellows Program.
She has studied the biomechanics of feet during different tasks for sports[7][8] and clinical[9] applications, the effects of footwear on athletic performance[10] and injury prevention,[11] biomechanics of load[12] and movement symmetry,[13] and the development of new assessment tools for clinical and field settings[14][15] Queen has chaired several committees, including the Orthopaedic Research Society's Women's Leadership Forum Committee (2015–2017) and the American Society of Biomechanics' Diversity Committee (2017–2020).
