Research Associate
University of Nebraska at Omaha
I am a clinical biomechanist specializing in evaluating movement dysfunction in clinical populations using nonlinear mathematical tools. My research focuses on improving the quality of life and functional status in patients with mobility impairments, particularly those with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). I have expertise in time series analysis, including entropy, detrended fluctuation analysis, and Lyapunov exponent analysis. During my postdoc with Dr. Sara Myers, I worked on various projects related to assistive devices, gait variability, biomechanics, and interventions for PAD patients. Our multidisciplinary team and institutional facilities provide the necessary resources to investigate mechanisms affecting walking performance, muscle contribution, physical activity, and quality of life before and after intervention with assistive devices.
