Education

  • Postdoc, Department of Kinesiology, Pennsylvania State University
  • Ph.D., Neuromuscular Physiology, University of Florida
  • B.P.T., College of Physiotherapy, Sardar Patel University, India

Licensure Information/Registration Number

Florida, Physical Therapy License # 29030

Teaching Responsibilities

  • DPT 760 Neuroscience

Research and Scholarship Interests (Funded Activity/Other Research and Scholarly Activity)

  • Neuromechanics and Neuroplasticity Laboratory

As a clinical neuroscientist, my research aims at understanding the neural mechanisms underlying movement control and learning across the lifespan and in persons with movement disorders arising from nervous system pathologies. We then use these discoveries to translate them into innovative and meaningful interventions and rehabilitation paradigms.
