Mae ei ymchwil yn ymwneud ag agweddau niwrogecanyddol symudiad mewn heneiddio dynol ac yn dilyn anaf/llawdriniaeth pen-glin. Mae ei ddiddordeb penodol yn canolbwyntio ar y rhyngweithio rhwng ystum a symudiad (addasiadau ystumiol rhagflaenol a chydadferol) yn ystod symudiadau corfforol cyfan neu groestoriadol. Yn ogystal, mae wedi defnyddio'r egwyddorion niwromecanyddol i gynllunio profion swyddogaethol arloesol i fonitro a chynorthwyo dychwelyd i chwaraeon ar ôl anaf/ailadeiladu ligament croes blaen (ACL).
