- Principle Investigator in the Biomechanics Research for the Advancement of Veteran Outcomes (BRAVO) Laboratory – Department of Veteran Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System
Dr. Sidiropoulos is a Principle Investigator in the Biomechanics Research for the Advancement of Veteran Outcomes (BRAVO) Laboratory at the Department of Veteran Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System. After earning an MS degree in Biomechanics, Dr. Sidiropoulos completed her academic career with a PhD in Kinesiology from Columbia University. With a background of research in motor learning and control, Dr. Sidiropoulos now focuses on the field of prosthetics with a concentration on whole-body movement analysis using 3-dimensional motion capture.
The Department of Defense recently granted Dr. Sidiropoulos a Clinical Research Award to implement a novel analysis of continuous coordination and stability during walking in Veterans and Service Members with lower extremity limb loss. In addition to performing research at the BRAVO lab, Dr. Sidiropoulos has also served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Brooklyn College and Teachers College, Columbia University, teaching graduate level courses related to Biomechanical Analysis of Movement and Research Design.
