Research Interests
I am interested in the form and function of complex living systems ranging from molecular motors to persons with movement disorders. I seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of movement, and I am motivated to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson's disease. While research and education are my primary activities, I am also involved in the development of new biomedical technologies and devices.
