Welcome!

I am a neuroscientist who uses psychophysics to understand the mechanisms behind human motor learning and motor control. I aim to leverage this understanding to improve the assessment and rehabilitation of neurological impairments in the motor system.  My goal is to establish a lab which will straddle these two worlds through collaboration with clinicians and engineers.
