B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and Systems Engineering; Washington University in St. Louis
Research Interests
Kyle Thomas’ research focuses on how motor units in the mouse forelimb coordinate to produce locomotion. He believes that science is a team effort, and is passionate about open-science collaboration to drive innovative technology. Outside of lab, Kyle enjoys creating/solving puzzles of all kinds, playing soccer, and making strides in locomotion-themed puns.
Kyle was awarded a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in 2020.
