About Me

I currently work as a post-doctoral fellow at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab in Chicago, IL USA studying whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve gait symmetry in stroke patients.

I attained my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 2024 from Stevens Institute of Technology working with Dr. Antonia Zaferiou. My dissertation focused on whole-body biomechanics of balance and momentum control during walking and 90 degree turning in healthy young and older adults. My 2019 M.S. degree from Purdue University working with Dr. Satyajit Ambike focused on the effect of anticipation on control of stability.

My long term research interests lie at the intersection of motor control and biomechanics in diverse, everyday movements. I am especially interested in the control of sudden, unanticipated movement, and how movement control relates to motor function and pain.

I also focus on developing software tools to increase the pace of research. Check out the Software page to see existing and in-development software projects.
