My research is focused on understanding coordination, broadly defined as global-level behavior that emerges through the interaction of components. I look for general principles in coordination patterns across people (social interactions) and within people (motor-respiratory and bimanual coordination) using the tools of dynamical systems analysis. I have described several of my research projects here, but please contact me if you would like additional details.
