Biomechanics & Human Performance

Motion analysis, musculoskeletal modeling, kinematics and kinetics, ergonomic assessment, and athletic performance optimization. We work with sports organizations, military units, and occupational health programs to maximize human performance and prevent injury.

Rehabilitation & Assistive Technology

Prosthetic and orthotic design, exoskeleton development, gait and balance rehabilitation, assistive technology evaluation, and wearable sensor systems. We develop solutions for veterans, aging populations, and individuals with disabilities.

Mental & Behavioral Health

PTSD and trauma research, resilience programming, substance use intervention, suicide prevention, sleep science, and mindfulness-based therapy. We support military populations, first responders, college students, and community mental health systems.

Public Health & Epidemiology

Epidemiological study design, disease surveillance, health disparities analysis, occupational health, wellness program evaluation, and community health assessment. We partner with government agencies and healthcare systems to improve outcomes at scale.

Digital Health & Health Informatics

Telehealth platform design, mobile health applications, remote patient monitoring, clinical decision support, and health informatics infrastructure. We help healthcare organizations leverage technology to extend access, reduce costs, and improve care quality.

Nursing & Clinical Sciences

Clinical trial support, evidence-based practice evaluation, patient safety research, nursing workforce development, and clinical education innovation. We bridge research and practice to improve outcomes at the bedside and across health systems.
