Biography

Clive D’Souza is a human factors engineer and researcher. His research program focuses on understanding human movement and mobility and the potential for assistive and rehabilitation technology interventions to address barriers in community mobility and transportation access for older adults and adults with disabilities. D’Souza’s research group, the Inclusive Mobility Research Lab uses various bioinstrumentation, wearable sensing technologies and data-driven computational techniques and across different research settings, including laboratory experiments on gait and mobility in functional tasks, wheelchair maneuverability in spatially constrained environments, driving and driver rehabilitation and naturalistic real-world studies, to study human performance and human-technology integration for improving mobility and transportation access.
