Research Interests

My research primarily focuses on the mechanics and bioenergetics of gait. Interests including, but not limited to, the effects of load carriage, body morphology, and movement variability are current topics of investigation. I have interdisciplinary (primarily physiological and biomechanical) interests in gait (walking, running) and postural stability.
