Engineering to enhance human mobility, play, and exploration
B.S. Mechanical Engineering – Auburn University
Mackenzie is interested in assessing individual movement patterns and responses to therapeutic interventions to help theorize ways of personalizing rehabilitation. She is currently investigating applications of data-driven methods from wearable sensing technologies to the gaits of runners and children with cerebral palsy.
BS, Mechanical Engineering, minor in Bioengineering – University of Notre Dame
Mia works at the intersection of accessibility, biomechanics, and rehabilitation medicine. Her work primarily focuses on the development and translation of assistive technology for young children with disabilities. She is currently developing a low-cost switch kit for digital play and testing various technologies to support On-Time mobility for preambulatory kids.
