Biography
Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering
Biomechanics
Level 1: I develop models of human movement to help design medical devices and monitor patient activity.
Level 2: I use models of human movement to determine forces and moments acting on, and within, the body; these are used to design new and innovative medical devices.
Level 3: I integrate a number of technologies to develop models of human movement that do...view more

Biomechanics
Level 1: I develop models of human movement to help design medical devices and monitor patient activity.
Level 2: I use models of human movement to determine forces and moments acting on, and within, the body; these are used to design new and innovative medical devices.
Level 3: I integrate a number of technologies to develop models of human movement that do not rely on rigid-body mechanics to inform medical device design and patient rehabilitation.
