My Lab

Neuromuscular Control Lab

Our lab is focused on the mechanisms underlying the multijoint control of movement and posture in able-bodied individuals and in individuals with neuromotor pathologies. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the relative contributions of intrinsic muscle properties, limb geometry and neural activation in the control of whole limb function.

About Me

Constantine completed his graduate training in the Medical Scientist Training Program within the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, receiving both his PhD in Biomedical Engineering and MD. In 2024, he continued his training at the Shirley Ryan 嫩B研究院 as a PM&R resident. His primary research interests are examining altered neuromuscular control in musculoskeletal pathologies that can be targeted with non-operative treatment. Constantine plans to merge his research interests in the future with his clinical interests in rehabilitation and sports medicine.
