General Information
Biography
Dr. Mukul Mukherjee, Associate Professor in Dept. of Biomechanics, received his professional degree in Physical Therapy from Delhi University and his PhD in Motor Control, Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Sciences from the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. He worked as postdoctoral research associate at UNO and UNMC in Motor Control, Nonlinear Analysis, Virtual Reality and Surgical Robotics. He also received an AHA postdoctoral fellowship to study visual augmentation of motor learning in stroke survivors. Dr. Mukherjee currently leads projects in several different topics including visual control of locomotion and sensory augmentation for improving adaptation and learning in patients with sensorimotor abnormalities. These investigations have resulted in over 50 journal publications in Experimental Brain Research, Nature Scientific Reports, Surgery, Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Frontiers in Physiology, Journal of Biomechanics, etc. He has received funding from NIH, NASA and AHA for research in sensory-augmented movement adaptation and from NASA for investigating modular robotics for exercise in astronauts. He is currently leading a multi-University collaborative effort investigating effects of sensory augmentation during gait coordination in stroke survivors. His major research objective is the exploration of multisensory contributions to human movement control and learning in health and disease.
