Research Interests

Research interests include all aspects of locomotion with a particular focus on multitasking. This research investigates the interfering effects of vision, cognition, and other aspects of locomotor control. These topics hold relevance for: populations with physical or cognitive impairments, performance and safety in demanding occupations, and safe design of public spaces.
