Profile Summary

Hello everyone, I am a PhD in Biomechanics specializing in human movement and gait analysis, with peer-reviewed publications in leading journals. I help research labs, clinicians, medical-device companies and sports organizations turn raw movement data into clean, reliable, publication-ready results. Core expertise: - Gait analysis — kinematics, kinetics (joint angle, velocity, moment, power/work, angular momentum...), spatiotemporal parameters, gait-event detection, ground réaction forces and their impulses, center of pressure, - EMG signal processing — filtering, activation timing, muscle coordination - Isokinetic — MVC, RFD, torque... - Motion-capture & sensor data — C3D/Vicon or Qualisys, IMUs, force plates: cleaning, synchronization, time-normalization - Custom algorithms & automated processing pipelines in Python and MATLAB (I recently produced a self paced algorithm on Python for Bertec treadmill). - Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and neuromodulation of gait (I'm specialized on plantarflexor muscles during the push-off phase go gait, but I can also transfer this expertise to other muscle groups or gait cycle phases - Systematic reviews and scientific writing Typical deliverables: documented and reusable processing pipelines, computed biomechanical metrics, clear figures and visualizations, and concise analysis reports. Whether you have a single dataset to process, a custom algorithm to develop, or a full analysis pipeline to build and document, I deliver rigorous, reproducible work backed by an academic standard of quality.
