Nate Brantly

I am a Pitt Bioengineering Ph.D. candidate studying the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying locomotor switching in people who have had a stroke. I came to Pitt via Chicago where I received my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University and worked as a Research Engineer at Coapt for two and half years. In between, I was a Whitaker International Fellow studying gait biomechanics at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. I worked as a Research Technician in the Bensmaia Lab at the University of Chicago for one year before starting graduate studies at Pitt.
