W. Geoffrey Wright, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at Temple University, where he directs the Neuromotor Sciences Graduate Program. He earned a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech, a masters in Experimental Psychology from Northeastern University, and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Brandeis University. For more than two decades, his research has been supported by the NIH, NSF, VA, Department of Defense, and Binational Science Foundation. Dr. Wright's interdisciplinary research program integrates neuroscience, biomechanics, engineering, and clinical rehabilitation to understand the sensory mechanisms underlying postural control and gait across the lifespan. His engineering background drives his work translating laboratory discoveries into clinically meaningful technologies for assessment and treatment. He has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, proceedings, and book chapters and delivered more than 200 invited presentations. Dr. Wright currently serves as Vice President of the International Society for Virtual Rehabilitation and previously served on the Board of Directors of the International Society for Gait and Posture Research. He is co-founder and chief scientist of UprightVR, Inc.
