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.
