Brief Bio

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the BioMotion Center, part of the Institute for Sports and Sports Science (IfSS) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany.

My research lies at the intersection of biomechanics, motor control, and sports technology, currently with a particular focus on running coordination and stability.

My doctoral work investigated the effects of jaw clenching on postural control, and I continue to explore how subtle neuromuscular interventions affect human movement. I am also involved in technology development, including running shoe design and diagnostic tools for archery. I hold a background in mechanical engineering.
