Biography and Expertise

Research:

  • Anatomical Sciences and Education
    • Assessing the role of interactive teaching techniques in enhancing learning
  • Neurobiology
    • Biomechanical implications of motor deficits on movement control as the result of stroke
    • Delineating the degree to which recovery of movement is enhanced with treatment

Research Summary

  • Biomechanics in Stroke Recovery

I am involved in a multi-institution and multidisciplinary approach to understanding the biomechanical measures, gross anatomy, histologic (neuronal sprouting), and biochemical markers involved in the recovery from brain injury.
