Research in the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab aims to enhance mobility by improving functional capacity and performance throughout the lifespan. We bridge bridge basic and translational research approaches from engineering, physiology, and rehabilitation to elucidate novel neuromusculoskeletal mechanisms underpinning functional deficits and leverage this mechanistic understanding to optimally deploy interventions. As an NIH F32 Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Utah, I examined how foot & shoe properties influence muscle, joint, and whole-body mechanics and energetics to help older adults walk more efficiently.
I am recruiting a fully-funded (tuition & fees + stipend) PhD research assistant to join my lab at Texas A&M. Interested applicants should email me a CV and a one-page cover letter and submit a formal application to the Motor Neuroscience PhD Program by December 1st, 2026.Â
