Major Kinesiology
Biosketch I am a Ph.D. student in Kinesiology, focusing on motor behavior at the University of Houston. I hold an M.Sc. in Sports Pathology and Corrective Exercises and a B.Sc. in Exercise Sciences with a specialization in Athletic Coaching. My research journey began with a fascination for biomechanics which evolved during my PhD studies, leading me to explore the neural mechanisms critical for balance. I use a variety of tools such as EEG, 3-D motion analysis, EMG, and TMS. In addition to this, I am interested in developing therapeutic interventions aimed at improving sensorimotor capabilities in elderly and stroke patients.
