Biography
As an M.S. Candidate in the Mechanical Science and Engineering Department, I work in the Human Dynamics and Controls Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Hsiao-Wecksler. I am fascinated by the biomechanics of human movement with a particular emphasis on injury related changes to functional human motion. I aspire to apply multidisciplinary concepts to the development of wearable devices with the potential to assist or restore neuromuscular performance.
