Research Interests

My goal is to improve mobility by combining advanced robotic devices, human-centered artificial intelligence, and accurate biomechanics modeling. I use these tools to develop personalized, wearable devices to monitor, diagnose, and assist people facing mobility challenges. For additional information see my website.
