Research Interests
Design, development, and clinical evaluation of technologies aimed at enhancing mobility and functional performance in children and adults with physical disabilities. This research spans the creation of novel prosthetic and orthotic solutions, innovations in the digital fabrication of assistive devices, and the development of wearable systems and algorithms for real-time mobility assessment. Additional focus areas include biosensing and biofeedback technologies, with an emphasis on user-centered design and applicability in under-resourced settings.
