A candidate for the COH Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Assistant professor position is currently working as a data scientist and researcher at a US university hospital. Their work focuses on advancing neuromodulation by designing innovative tasks and experiments to investigate neurophysiological enhancements, improvements in movement patterns and technology personalization following the application of innovative techniques and technologies in therapeutic interventions. They hold a doctoral degree in Kinesiology, specializing in Motor Control, with a minor in Statistics from a US University. The candidates research interests center on developing data-driven models grounded in motor control principles to better understand movement in both neurological populations and healthy individuals across the lifespan. This advanced understanding may prove to be an effective strategy to develop novel objective measurement tools.
 

Research Talk Title: "Data-Driven Approaches to Neurorehabilitation: Personalization, Measurement, and Translation"
Abstract: Bridging the gap between clinical research and patient care remains a critical challenge, as current clinical outcome measures often lack the sensitivity needed to track disease progression or evaluate interventions with precision. This challenge is further amplified by advancements in rehabilitation technologies, which require personalized and fine- tuned approaches. This seminar begins with an introduction on the advancing of rehabilitation technology through the development of a closed-loop, activity-based training system using transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation. The initial steps in piloting its safety and feasibility will be discussed along with the challenges of optimizing its clinical use and personalizing the technology for individual patients. The seminar further includes innovative methods for developing objective measurement tools grounded in motor control principles to evaluate intervention effects. Prior contributions to these approaches and their practical translation into patient care are presented. The outcome of this research paves the way for more effective, patient- centered rehabilitation strategies and improved clinical decision-making.
