Associate Professor
University of Kansas Medical Center
I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Science, and Athletic Training at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). Within the University of Kansas Center for Community Access, Rehabilitation Research, Education and Service (KU-CARES), I direct the Mobility Core. My current research line is centered on the intersection of cognition and mobility, including balance, gait, and driving in aging and neurodegenerative conditions. I have led cross-sectional, longitudinal, and randomized controlled trials to evaluate and train cognition and mobility. In addition, I have been funded continuously throughout my academic career, either as PI or Co-I, on projects related to cognition and mobility. I have authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles on cognition, mobility, virtual reality, and EEG. I serve as Chair of the Neurodegenerative Diseases Networking Group of ACRM
