Research Interests

I seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of human movement, and I am motivated to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, Parkinson’s disease and other conditions that limit mobility. I am also involved in the development of new biomedical technologies for imaging, neuromodulation, and simulation.

Degrees

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford Universiy, 1990
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, 1986
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Colorado State University, 1983
