About

My research focuses on improving mobility for the aging population and people with neurological disorders and reducing fall risk. Throughout my research program, I use motion capture tools and wearable sensors to record movement and mobile brain imaging via high-density electroencephalogram (EEG) to record brain activity associated with movement. My research will leverage biomechanical factors and neural mechanisms responsible for mobility dysfunction to enhance rehabilitation outcomes and improve the quality of life.
