Elliott’s interest in stroke research is mainly focused on the lower extremity and the role of strength training in stroke recovery and walking. His goal is to complete an M.S. degree with the intent of pursuing a career teaching human anatomy and physiology at the community college level. In his free time, Elliott enjoys watching and playing sports and listening to music.

Current Projects: CST, MGA, COWS, WILD, Task-Failure, PAS, ABILITY

Post-Doctoral Fellow

Ph.D., Kinesiology with an emphasis in Motor Behavior, University of Houston
M.S., Kinesiology, Georgia Southern University
B.S., Kinesiology, University of Maryland

David is interested in the role of cortical structures in motor performance, adaptation, and learning and the contribution of both motor and non-motor areas, such as the posterior parietal cortex, in posture, and gait performance. His work to date has spanned diverse subject populations ranging from healthy individuals to stroke survivors, and children with neurodevelopmental disorders. David’s career goal and aspiration are to make a living doing research that leads to improving people’s lives. He spends his free time with his wife and daughter and enjoys cooking, hiking, and occasionally lifting weights.

Current Projects: HEBB, PAS, CST

Hannah is currently working to design and fabricate a sensitive instrument that measures 3D forces during gripping. The acquisition code being developed will advance research on the relationships between brain activity and motor behavior. Her research interests include human-systems engineering; design, manufacturing, Micro-electromechanical structures (MEMS) and Nanostructures; and vehicles and robotics. In her free time, she enjoys volunteering and giving back to the community, spending time with family and friends, and learning new things such as a new recipe or a sonata to play on her violin.
