Dr. Albert Vette is an associate professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta. He also is a member of the university’s Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute (NMHI) and a research scientist at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. Albert completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, and completed a MITACS postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo. In line with his interdisciplinary background, Albert’s work lies at the interface between human movement neuromechanics, human motor control, and rehabilitation engineering. Using both experimental and theoretical means, his team’s efforts are focused on gaining a better understanding of how we control movement and on enhancing functional independence following neuromuscular impairment. His current research activities include the identification of active and passive mechanisms involved in human postural control; characterizing the role of sensory noise in sensorimotor speed of processing; establishing quantitative techniques for effective evaluation of rehabilitation outcomes; and developing advanced assistive technologies for postural control using different electrical stimulation paradigms. Albert fosters strong collaborations with clinicians, human movement scientists, and engineers within Alberta and across North America.
