Mark Musolino
Department of Bioengineering, Doctoral Student

ACADEMIC HISTORY
Mark received a BS in 1993 from Carnegie Mellon University in Mechanical Engineering. In 1996, he earned a MS in Bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh.

CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
His research interests include postural control, sensory integration, dynamical systems, complexity theory, and the perception of sound and music. Current projects focus on modeling of the postural control system (with particular emphasis on attention and sensory integration), and investigations of the dynamic structure of center-of-pressure time series.
