He is dedicated to translating basic science findings in neurologically healthy people to develop and evaluate novel, clinically-relevant approaches for neurological assessment and neurorehabilitation in stroke and spinal cord injury using non-invasive stimulation, neuromodulation, robotics, combinatorial therapies, and neuroimaging. He is also known for designing and testing telerehabilitation approaches for motor recovery after stroke. He is recognized as a leader in the field of neurorehabilitation, having published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and given over 120 invited lectures, including presentations at the US Institute of Medicine (National Academy of Sciences) and the US National Institutes of Health.
