The main focus of this lab is to improve walking, balance, and cognitive function among people with neurological conditions. In this lab, we are focused on Stroke and HIV rehabilitation.
My expectation for students is to be curious, engaged, responsible, and collaborative. I expect that they work together with their lab mates, ask for help when they need it, and meet the deadlines we set for them. I will ask that they commit a certain number of hours per week to the lab.
I meet with my students regularly (e.g., weekly or biweekly) to discuss their progress, challenges, and feedback. I also encourage them to attend lab meetings, seminars, and workshops where they can learn from other researchers and present their work
I assign projects and tasks to my students based on their interests, skills, goals, and availability. I try to match them with projects that are suitable for their level of experience and that offer opportunities for learning and growth. I also provide guidance and support along the way.
Many students have different backgrounds, which is fantastic! To join my lab, you need to have a genuine interest in our research areas and a willingness to learn new skills or techniques as needed.
Students with a background in neuroscience, psychology, kinesiology, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy may be best suited for this work, but all students are invited to reach out to Dr. Quigley to see if there is a good fit. Students who are interested in gamified rehabilitation and yoga may also be a good fit.
