My name is Michelle Eliason, and I’m a PhD Candidate in Rehabilitation Science at the University at Buffalo, where I study the neural and cognitive mechanisms of aging and recovery following acquired brain injury. I’m also the founder of Buffalo Occupational Therapy (est. 2018), a private practice focused on cognitive–motor rehabilitation for adults with neurological complexity.

I recently earned my PhD in Occupational Therapy from NYU, where my research focused on occupational engagement in individuals with neurologic impairments. My work emphasizes promoting resilience to improve both short- and long-term outcomes, with a particular focus on the unique role self-regulation plays in an individual’s ability to re-engage in meaningful tasks. Currently, I’m teaching at a couple of universities while exploring the next steps in my professional journey — essentially, I’m an academic nomad on an scholarly walkabout.

Andrew is currently a post-doc at Arizona State University in the School of Engineering where he is near completing his training as part of an NIH F32 grant. His research focus is in creating digital health technology that can aid in the early detection of neurodegenerative disease.

Johanna is a Post-Doc at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and behaviour in Nijmegen, the Netherlands and a recurring TA for ReproRehab. Her focus is on Git and Open Science.

Allison is a rehabilitation clinician-researcher. She received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Connecticut, Neurologic Clinical Specialist certification through completing the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation Residency in Neurologic Physical Therapy, and her PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Sciences from the University of Delaware. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University in St. Louis working with Drs. Keith Lohse and Catherine Lang. Her research investigates the application of digital health tools, in particular wearable sensor technology, to improve measurement, clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes in rehabilitation care.

Bethany Lo is currently a lab manager at the Neural Plasticity and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory at the University of Southern California and was a learner in the 2022 ReproRehab cohort. She is interested in studying cognition and learning in older adults using neuroimaging analyses.

Duncan Tulimieri is a graduate student at the University of Delaware and a teaching assistant for ReproRehab. He has recently been improving his ability to write with clarity and conciseness. He enjoys problem-solving (especially programming problems), experimental visualization, mentoring, writing, and collaborating with his peers.

Keith Lohse is a Clinical Associate Professor of Physical Therapy and Neurology at the Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis. He is accredited as a professional statistician (PStat) by the American Statistical Association. He has expertise in multivariate statistics, signal processing, and longitudinal/time-series data. He has recently been learning about machine learning, especially unsupervised and reinforcement learning algorithms. He enjoys problem solving, developing new data visualization skills, and the challenge of translating complex data to a diverse audience.
