I'm a PhD student at the University of Waterloo. I’m working to learn why we move the way we do.
I build biomechanical models and design simulations to test hypotheses about how movements of everyday living are achieved.
Interests
• Modelling and simulation of systems
• Optimal control and motion prediction
• Biomechanics
• Design for wellness and rehabilitation
