General Information
Biography
Current research objectives are to inform data-centric surgical decisions, evaluate postoperative gait rehabilitation, and improve mobility in persons with diabetes and children with neuromuscular disorders. My background is in biomechanics, with specific skillsets in 3D human movement analyses, pressure distributions on human tissue, and electromyography of lower limb muscles.
Teaching Interests
Undergraduate - Clinical biomechanics, ethics, introductory biomechanics.Graduate - Advanced Biomechanics and Data Processing of 3D kinematics and kinetics of human movement.
Research Interests
Applied - Rehabilitation and functional outcomes of joint and whole body mobility.Basic - Musculoskeletal modeling of lower limb joint contact forces, intersegmental and plantar pressure distributions.
Service Summary
Director - Movement Analysis CoreCenter for Research in Human Movement Variability
