Professional Interests:  

My professional interests include the clinical management of cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, exercise testing and prescription in healthy and diseased populations, and efficacy of cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation. I am also interested in the study of energy minimization in locomotion. My recent research has been involved in the optimization of walking performance in persons with lower extremity amputation due to trauma, and the application of pendulum models in physical therapy. For more details, please review my curriculum vitae.
