GRA_ PhD Candidate
University of Kansas Medical Center
Maryam Sadeghi is a dedicated PhD Candidate at the University of Kansas Medical Center, specializing in Rehabilitation Science. Her research primarily focuses on cognitive and physical rehabilitation strategies for individuals affected by Parkinsonian disorders and Multiple Sclerosis. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, eye tracking, Force-Plate platforms, and wearable sensors, Maryam aims to advance the understanding and application of machine learning in predicting changes in gait speed and falls. These critical insights are essential for the clinical and functional diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. By predicting changes in how people walk and their risk of falling, she addresses key challenges in diagnosing and treating these conditions. Maryam customizes her research to create rehabilitation plans that meet the specific needs of each patient, making treatments more effective and personalized. Her commitment to her research is evident from her active participation in various academic conferences and her contributions to scholarly publications.
