Model analysis of oxygen transport and metabolism in skeletal muscle: responses to a change in energy demand
… consumption (VO<sub>2</sub>) at the onset of contraction is an indicator of the ability to do work. The VO<sub>2</sub> response to contraction (i.e., VO<sub>2</sub> kinetics) is determined by oxygen delivery (convective and diffusive) to tissue, oxygen utilization in muscle myocytes, and …

Motor unit firing rate control of agonist skeletal muscle during voluntary isometric and shortening contractions with limb movement
… mammalian lifespan require skeletal muscle contractions that are controlled by time- and recruitment-dependent firing rate patterns. Single motor unit (MU) activity reflects the final efferent neural drive to the muscle, yet the underlying neural control of movement at the MU level is not …

Coordination of cellular force-generation during Drosophila ventral furrow formation
… Chapter 2, I investigate how discrete actomyosin contraction events are coordinated in time and between neighboring cells to yield tissue contraction and folding. I developed a computational pipeline to identify and classify contraction events from live images of ventral furrow formation. Using …
