Research Interests
My research focuses on maximizing patient functionality through improvements to prosthetic control and sensory feedback, evaluating quality of life through at-home data collection of prosthesis use, and development and validation of new outcome measures. This requires a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach bringing together engineers, scientists, surgeons, clinicians, therapists, and patients to develop novel technologies.
