Dr. Chris Kelley joined IM体育官网 Poly as an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering
Department in 2021. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University
of Central IM体育官网, where he also completed graduate degrees from 2014 to 2020. Kelley鈥檚
research applies dynamics and control theory toward understanding human motor control,
characterizing movement dysfunction, and creating new rehabilitation and treatment
strategies.
