Engineering to enhance human mobility
Congratulations to Dr. Alyssa Spomer on earning her Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering! Dr. Spomer’s PhD thesis dissertation was titled Evaluating multimodal biofeedback to target and improve motor control in cerebral palsy. Congratulations and best of luck as you move forward as a Clinical Scientist at Gillette Children’s. Best of luck in Minnesota!
Mia Hoffman passed the Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student qualifying examination. Congratulations Mia!
Congratulations to Charlotte Caskey for passing her General Exam!
Charlotte’s proposed work titled Effects of Spinal Stimulation on Neuromechanics in Cerebral Palsy was approved by her Ph.D. committee. Woot! Go Charlotte!
The Ability & Innovation Lab’s own Alyssa Spomer was featured in an article, Supporting mobility in cerebral palsy, via the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This article highlighted her work on how a robotic exoskeleton device paired with real-time feedback can enhance rehabilitation therapy for children with cerebral palsy. Way to go Alyssa!
Congratulations to Dr. Momona Yamagami on earning her Doctorate in Electrical and Computer Engineering! Dr. Yamagami’s PhD thesis dissertation was titled Modeling and enhancing human-machine interaction for accessibility and health. Congratulations and best of luck as you move forward as a CREATE Postdoctoral Researcher.
