• Vehicle Rollover Control using Pulsed Active Steering Control Strategy

Research Interests:

My research focuses on brain plasticity and the neural control of movement. I utilize non-invasive methods, like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG), to study the neural correlates of performance and skill learning in healthy and clinical populations. In particular, my current focus is centred upon how different brain systems underlying motor control/learning interact to determine brain plasticity with an emphasis on enhancing stroke rehabilitation.
