I am currently in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My research interests are at the interface of assistive and rehabilitative device design, computational modeling of human biomechanics and motor control, and experimental analysis of human adaptation and motor learning. Please see my Projects and Publications page for more details.
I am actively seeking a tenure track faculty position. Please contact me with the email on my contact page if your department might be interested in the kind of work I have documented here.
