Research

Major research interests include machine design, kinematics, and dynamics, particularly as applied to the development of robotic systems. Current work focuses on  biped robot locomotion, human motor coordination, robot-assisted rehabilitation, human injury biomechanics, and design of shape-changing mechanisms.
