Professor David Franklin investigates physiological computational principles of human neuromuscular motor control. His research examines how the nervous system controls the mechanical properties of the body to adapt to the external environment and produce skillful movement. He explores the computations underlying sensorimotor control, blending computational and experimental approaches with robotics and virtual reality. Franklin studied human physiology and was awarded a doctorate in neuroscience in 2005 from the Department of Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University in Canada. He worked as a researcher at the Institute of Advanced Telecommunications Research in Kyoto, Japan, from 1999 to 2006. He spent three years as a research associate in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge in the UK. In 2010, he was awarded the Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship and became a research fellow at the University of Cambridge. He has been an associate professor of Neuromuscular Diagnostics at TUM since 2016.
