Areas of Research
My research background can be classified under the umbrella of neuroscience, applied muscle physiology, pediatrics, and rehabilitation. My research spans multiple dimensional scales ranging from whole-body, to tissue level structure and function, and includes basic, applied, and translational approaches. The breadth of my research utilizes neuromuscular physiology approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and technology for neurorehabilitation (i.e., electrical stimulation, robotic exoskeletons, virtual reality etc.). Furthermore, my research focuses on investigating the dosimetry, therapeutic effectiveness and proper application of interventions to enhance neural, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular function in people with neurological diseases/disorders (i.e., Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke etc.).
