RESEARCH & TEACHING · UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM
Human movement for rehabilitation, health and independence.
I study how people move, what movement tells us about ability and intention, and how technology can respond without taking control away.
THE COMMON THREAD
Movement is the starting point.
From residual muscle activity to shared control, my work connects an understanding of human movement with rehabilitation technology, assistive systems and human–robot interaction.
Research in focus
01 / MOVEMENT & INTENTION
Using the movement a person has
Wearable sensing and movement-based interfaces for controlling assistive devices after spinal cord injury.
02 / INTELLIGENT MOBILITY
Assistance that responds to context
Predicting collision risk for smart walkers and exploring personalised shared control in early-years powered mobility.
03 / REHABILITATION
Sensing and supporting movement
Functional electrical stimulation, movement assessment and control methods for rehabilitation activity.
FOR STUDENTS
A project with a human question.
Explore project directions in movement sensing, machine learning and assistive robotics, and find out how to discuss your own idea.
FOR COLLABORATORS
Complementary expertise. Shared questions.
I welcome connections with researchers, clinicians, people with disabilities and organisations interested in technology that can work in everyday life.
