My research uses mechanical principles to study how people move during activities of daily living and athletic maneuvers. I am interested in using this information to develop technology and clinical interventions that improve movement mechanics and reduce the risk of injury. This area of research and development has also been an effective way for engaging students in STEAM.
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology and I direct the Musculoskeletal Control and Dynamics Lab. Before joining Stevens Institute of Technology, I was an Assistant Professor and Director of Sports Medicine Motion Analysis at Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. In addition to my formal education listed below, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.
Education
