BIOMECHANIST. ENGINEER. USER RESEARCHER.
RESEARCH GOALS
My goals are to create and evaluate accessible assistive and rehabilitative technologies targeting walking for individuals with neurological conditions. My background positions me to aid in all phases of the development process: initial design and build, evaluation of the biomechanical and neuromotor impact, and discussion of experiences and preferences with potential users.
DISSERTATION RESEARCH
My dissertation research, which was funded by an F31 fellowship, evaluated the use of four distinct measures of neuromotor control for explaining post-stroke walking deficits.
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH
My current work, which is funded by the Hartwell Foundation, investigates the effect of a body-weight support harness on mobility in infants with Down Syndrome.
RECENT NEWS
NNR Paper
Check out our recent, open access paper where we explore the use of the autonomous control of music to retrain walking after stroke.
ASB 2023
I am thrilled to be presenting at the upcoming American Society in Biomechanics meeting. Our abstract was selected for the Clinical Biomechanics Award Session.
CSM 2023
Very excited to share our validation study of a new system for measuring plantarflexor central drive after stroke at the APTA combined sections meeting.
