Research Interests
I am interested in extracting detailed information about human movement from computer models for the purpose of improving the quality of treatment of locomotor disorders. Towards this end, I would like to develop musculoskeletal models that represent individual subjects (patients) that include their interaction with the environment (i.e. ground contact modelling). In order to control these complex models, I have focused on nonlinear and feedback control methods using experimental reference data. I am very curious about applying similar techniques to broader biological system analyses ranging from molecular dynamics to cardiac performance.
