Graduate Student associated with: Francisco J Valero-Cuevas
Department: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Field: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Keywords: Mathematical Modeling (14), Motor Systems (13), Sensorimotor Systems (11)

I am interested in the clinical applications of biomechanics research, specifically rehabilitation technology and surgical procedures. Recently, I have been fascinated by functional electrical stimulation technology as well as neural implants. I am interested in neural control of movement and the effects of anatomical variability on models of the human thumb. Currently, I am investigating the ability of robotics-based thumb models to realistically predict maximal static thumbtip forces in 3D using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods.
