RESEARCH INTEREST
Ivana is interested in using computational and experimental methods to better understand how the nervous system controls voluntary movement. Her research while here at the Ability & Innovation Lab focused on exploring how different sensorimotor disorders including stroke, spinal cord injury, and cerebral palsy affect motor control, and how such knowledge can be used to better understand and optimize treatment outcomes.

RESEARCH INTEREST
Brianna is interested in better understanding how various technologies and therapies affect human movement. During her time in the lab she worked to quantify the effects of constraint-induced movement therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy.
MS Physics for Business Applications – University of Southern California
RESEARCH INTEREST
Nick’s research is focused on using off-the-shelf and consumer devices to quantify patients’ progress during rehabilitation. He is also involved in the development of OpenMC, an accurate & affordable platform for Clinical Motion Analysis.
Darrin is interested in elucidating the computations employed by the nervous system to organize, control, and adaptively modify locomotion. In addition to providing managerial support to the lab, he investigated the dynamics of locomotive control within human-machine interfacing with Dr. Sam Burden, a collaborator from UW’s Electrical Engineering department.
HOBBIES
