Research interests

My research is focused on fundamental biomechanics of the upper extremity. I focus on three primary research avenues: wrist and shoulder capacity across the population (age, sex, pathology), use of biomechanical and ergonomical perspectives to mitigate workplace injury and development of new techniques to measure capacity for researchers in academic and industry settings. Each of these avenues complement existing knowledge related to workplace musculoskeletal disorders and decreasing demands on our workers to improve capability throughout the lifespan.
