Zarmina Amin, PhD

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Dr. Zarmina Amin is a postdoctoral research associate at the Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport Studies at the University of Tennessee. Her research focuses on musculoskeletal health and physical activity promotion in high-risk and clinical populations, with particular interest in the upper extremities.

She integrates wearable devices, fitness applications, and exergaming technologies to develop and test innovative interventions aimed at improving physical and mental well-being. Her work builds on previous postdoctoral training at the NIOSH-funded North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Education and Research Center, where she focused on injury prevention among first responders.

Dr. Amin has presented at national conferences including the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and has published in Hand Therapy and other peer-reviewed journals. Her ongoing research bridges digital health innovation with high-risk and clinical population health, aiming to develop accessible, data-driven strategies that promote physical activity, injury prevention, and long-term well-being.
