Hello!
I am a CIHR postdoctoral fellow at professor Max Donelan’s Locomotion Lab in the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. I investigate gait adaptation through understanding the nervous system’s mechanisms of learning. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute-UHN. My research is on the neuromechanics of human locomotion. In other words, I try to understand principles underlying control of walking and to use these principles to design rehabilitation protocols for affected groups such as older adults at risk of falls. My research results have been published in premier academic journals in the field of biomechanics, motor control, and gerontology. I am also a member of editorial board of the Gait & Posture.
