Research Leadership
Research emphasis is the application of anatomical and electrophysiological techniques to determine how skeletal muscle is coordinated as a result of movement, training and injury.
- Currently published in 14 peer-reviewed journals and presented in 44 national/international conferences.
- Frequently attend invited community based presentations discussing health & wellness.
- Received several national and international research, travel and conference awards and funding.
- Partnered and managed several industry specific research programs.
- Mentored and demonstrated research leadership to over 40 graduate students and 175 undergraduates.
Research InterestsThe application of anatomical (structural analysis) and electrophysiological (functional analysis) techniques to determine how segments of a single skeletal muscle are coordinated both within the muscle, and across a muscle group, to produce the desired direction of joint motion. |
