The Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory investigates the control mechanism of neuromuscular system in normal and neurologically disordered persons, develops advanced neural-machine interfacing technologies, and applies these techniques to neural control of prosthetics, orthotics, computers and other assistive devices.

The ABL specializes in the neuromuscular biomechanics of human movement, with an emphasis on aging and disease-related mobility impairment. The lab’s primary research seeks to discover the musculoskeletal and sensorimotor adaptations that underlie a loss of independent mobility, and to … Read more

DP ARF is similar to conventional ultrasound in that is uses sound waves and their reflections to measure tissue properties, but what makes DP ARF unique is that the method measures the viscoelastic properties of tissue (instead of just the … Read more

Current research in the lab seeks to discover physiological principles underpinning locomotion performance and apply them to develop lower-limb robotic devices capable of improving both healthy and impaired human locomotion. By focusing on the human side of the human-machine interface, the lab has begun to create a roadmap for the design of lower-limb robotic exoskeletons — wearable devices that work seamlessly in concert with the underlying physiological systems to augment human locomotion performance.

The Zaharoff Lab focuses on the development of innovative, translatable vaccine and immunotherapy delivery platforms that will have high clinical impact in an immediate timeframe. Our multidisciplinary research program utilizes the engineering design process to develop novel biomaterials-based strategies for … Read more
