My research revolves around applying my core competencies in biomechanics, ergonomics, and neuroscience to enhance personal and occupational safety. In my postdoctoral work, I delved into investigating the neural components of balance training efficacy using mobile brain imaging through electroencephalogram (EEG). My educational journey led me to earn a PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh, focusing on identifying risk factors for ladder falls.

I am passionate about improving safety and reducing accidents in high-stakes situations. Employing a human factors approach, my research investigates individual, environmental, and interfacing factors to promote safe and effective activity using motion capture tools and high-density EEG for mobile brain imaging.

My excitement about joining the University of Utah stems from the focused educational training and the strong collaborative network in ergonomics, safety, and occupational health. Collaborating with the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health RMCOEH, I will be involved in training graduates in the Ergonomics & Safety and Occupational Injury Prevention academic programs.
