RESEARCH INTERESTS

Noah Davidson is a PhD student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. Noah joined the laboratory in Fall 2021 after graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 2021. Currently, he is interested in exploring how to quantify variability to better help differentiate between healthy and pathological gait by using unique engineering and mathematical techniques. Additionally, Noah’s other research interests include utilizing musculoskeletal modeling to investigate and optimize motor learning in post-stroke patients and employing data analytics to characterize athletic performance.
