Welcome to my website


I’m a Kinesiology PhD student at the University of Virginia interested in using wearable sensors to improve health outcomes and increase physical activity with age.

My academic research is focused on gait retraining. I am currently measuring the effects it has on lower body joint loading and the metabolic cost of walking.

I can often be found piloting with new sensors or tinkering in Python, R, or Matlab.
