Research Interests
I am interested in the application of three-dimensional motion analysis and diffusion tensor MR imaging techniques to determine the relationship between brain structure and upper limb motor function. My goal is to help improve the evaluation and treatment of upper limb movement disorders in children with cerebral palsy.

Degrees
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, 2001
B.S.E. in Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania, 2000

Hobbies
I enjoy international travel, hiking, yoga, reading novels (when I’m not reading journal articles), and spending time with friends and family.
