Research Interests

Our research is focused on the creation of assistive devices that expand opportunities for self-expression, participation, and independent living for children and youth with disabilities. Our multidisciplinary research is on the interface of engineering, computer science, rehabilitation, physiology, design, arts, and fashion.

Keywords: rehabilitation engineering; assistive technology; wearable sensors & actuators; electronic textiles; ubiquitous technology; user-centred design; context awareness; multi-modal feedback
