I am a postdoctoral fellow (PI: Dr. Constance Chu) in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University. My postdoctoral research aims to understand the complex interactions between mechanical, structural, and biological aspects contributing to the development and progression of osteoarthritis. I actively explore the application of wearables and video-based motion capture and advanced data analysis methods to facilitate the incorporation of quantitative gait analysis into OA research.
