Research

The goal of my research is to provide a scientific basis for the treatment of human movement disorders. To reach this goal, I apply mechanical engineering principles to clinical problems in orthopaedics and study musculoskeletal mechanics, design medical devices and procedures, and optimize the functional outcome of orthopaedic clinical and surgical interventions.
