Education

Interdisciplinary and Emerging Signature Programs

• Biomedical Engineering & Nanomedicine
• Neurodegenerative Disease
• Neuroscience
• Women & Children's Health

Research Interests

• I explore the neuromechanics of human movement, specifically of neck and lower back pain, anterior cruciate ligament injury, concussion, and proprioception. I utilize clinical trials, in vivo, in vitro, and machine learning models. My long-term goal is to implement programs to advance chiropractic medicine, prevent injury, and improve rehabilitation techniques. My backgrounds in chiropractic, neuroscience, and kinesiology keep me exploring for solutions to common health concerns.
