About me
I completed my BSc in Mechanical Engineering with an option in Biomechanical Engineering from Queen’s University in April 2021. I am currently pursuing my MSc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta in the Neuromuscular Control and Biomechanics Laboratory.

Graduate Research:
In my current MSc thesis, I am conducting research to examine the impact of manipulating epidural spinal stimulation parameters on the responses of trunk muscles. The objective of this study is to explore potential applications for enhancing trunk stability and control through spinal stimulation following neuromuscular impairment, specifically spinal cord injury. The outcomes of this research have the potential to provide valuable insights for future interventions aimed at improving trunk function in individuals with neurological conditions.
Undergraduate Research:
I completed an undergraduate research project at the University of Alberta, supervised by Dr. Albert Vette. The focus of this research project was to characterize the motion of the unaffected shoulder in upper limb body-powered prosthesis users. The purpose of this study was to better understand causes of overuse injury and pain in the unaffected shoulder of prosthesis users and to guide future prosthetic design.
