Inventor and Chief Scientist

For my doctoral dissertation, I developed a novel myoelectric control algorithm that allows for continuous control of the hand posture including all necessary postures used in activities of daily living.  This controller compared favorably to the available commercial controllers as well as state-of-the-art research algorithms.
