Dr. Sternad
Dagmar Sternad received the BS in Movement Science and Linguistics from the Technical University of Munich and the PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Connecticut. From 1995 until 2008, she was Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor at the Pennsylvania State University in Kinesiology and Integrative Biosciences. At Northeastern, she holds an interdisciplinary appointment in the departments of Biology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Physics. Her research in computational neuroscience and motor control focuses on learning and control of sensorimotor coordination in humans, both in healthy and neurologically impaired individuals. This work spans behavioral experiments with mathematical models of control and nonlinear dynamics, bridging biology with engineering and physics. The results are documented in over 100 publications in scientific journals and several books. She holds editorial appointments in several journals, including 9 years of executive editor of the Journal of Motor Behavior, and has been member of NIH and NSF grant review panels. The research has been continuously supported by grants from the National Institute of Health, the National Science Foundation and Office of Naval Research.
