Research interests
My research interests focus on promoting musculoskeletal health and motor learning in workers, particularly those who combine fine motor control with a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Additionally, I aim to use musical practice to promote the rehabilitation of populations suffering from neuromotor disorders.
