Research Interests
My research program aims to understand the relationships between muscle function and coordination, musculoskeletal system dynamics, and subject-specific characteristics; to elucidate how they interact to influence normal, pathological and high-performing musculoskeletal function. I am interested in questions geared towards understanding muscle function and coordination during whole-body movements, neuromuscular and morphological contributions to joint tissue injury mechanisms, and best strategies to optimize an individual’s movement for performance, injury prevention and rehabilitation. I seek to address these questions by integrating experimental testing and imaging with computational modelling and simulation approaches to enable analyses across multiple levels of the neuromusculoskeletal system.
