Dr. Sánchez is an assistant professor at the University of Southern California Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy. She holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University. Her research broadly focuses on the mechanisms that shape walking behaviors in healthy individuals and individuals after neurologic injury. Particularly, her research aims to understand individual-specific, longitudinal changes in motor control and walking behaviors after injury, with the long-term goal of prescribing individualized interventions to improve walking function. To accomplish her research goals, Dr Sánchez uses a combination of experimental methods in biomechanics, electromyography, and physiology, and computational methods in machine learning.
