Beau is a postdoctoral researcher at the Braun Lab working on variable stiffness human augmentation devices. Beau received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt, studying under Dr. Michael Goldfarb. His research interests include the design and control of assistive and augmentative devices with an emphasis on lower limb prostheses and exoskeletons. His works include the design and control of an assistive knee exoskeleton for individuals with Cerebral Palsy, control and human-in-the-loop optimization of a knee exoskeleton to improve the metabolic efficiency of walking and running, and the development of a powered lower-limb exoskeleton for human augmentation.
