Assistant Professor
Department of Mechanical Engineering

Welcome to my site! I am an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa. My research interests include developing new methods for modelling and simulating dynamic systems, applying these methods to further our understanding of human movement, and disseminating powerful computational tools to accelerate discovery and improve health.
Biomechanics of Movement: The Science of Sports, Robotics, and Rehabilitation is now available from MIT Press. See below for more information.
I help develop and support OpenSim, open-source software for modelling musculoskeletal systems and generating simulations of human and animal movement. Check out our recent paper featured on the cover of PLoS Computational Biology.
