Areas of Research

Dynamics of locomotion
We use optimization models to generate hypotheses about the control of locomotion (humans and animals). We then test those hypotheses against empirical behaviour. When we identify a successful hypothesis, the model is probed post hoc to identify the determining influences that make that solution dynamically optimum.
