Research Interests
I developed the residual reduction algorithm (RRA) that has enabled the generation of long-duration muscle-driven simulations of gait. I generated a simulation of ten gait cycles of walking. I analyze simulations to study how muscles control body movements and how muscles help stabilize walking.
