His research focuses on the integration of sensing, control and mechanics in animal movement, with specific interest in aquatic locomotion and human balance. Drexel’s Peace Engineering program trains engineers to work proficiently at the intersection of conflict management and peacebuilding. The program is the result of a partnership between the U.S. Institute of Peace’s Peace-Tech Lab and Drexel’s College of Engineering that aims to transform peacebuilding using educational and research efforts that integrate engineering approaches with the studies and practices of peacebuilders.
