About
I am the PI of the Human–Robot Empowerment Lab at the University of Utah, where I work to build more effective assistive and rehabilitative robots. In particular, our work leverages multiple sensing modalities (including ultrasound, surface electromyography, and motion capture) to better evaluate human capability and intent, enabling safer, more intuitive, and more personalized physical human–robot interactions.
