Summary

Motion is a defining feature of human life. The complex interplay of the central nervous system, sensory organs, and contracting skeletal muscles enables the amazing variability of human motion. However, existing methodologies (both experimental and theoretical) provide only limited insights for uncovering the function of the neuromuscular system. This also limits the availability and development of treatments for the diverse class of neuromuscular disorders.

My research focuses on integrating experimental and computational methods to study the neuromuscular system. This includes the development of new computer simulation tools that allow testing hypotheses on neuromuscular (patho)physiology, enriching experimental data through model predictions, and developing new methods to analyze muscle signals.
