KATHARINE E. FORTH, PH.D.
NASA Johnson Space Center

Katharine E. Forth received her B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Bristol, UK, her M.Sc. in Applied Human Sciences from St. Mary’s College, University of Surrey, UK, and her Ph.D in Motor Control from the University of Houston. Katey’s doctoral work in the Laboratory of Integrated Physiology involved studying the context-specific nature of neuromuscular responses to foot stimulation, including contexts of unloading, postural stability and background contraction levels.

Katey joins USRA’s Division of Space Life Science as a BFSB postdoctoral fellow and is working with Dr. William Paloski of the neurosciences laboratory at Johnson Space Center. Her research will focus on the neuromuscular responses to a variety of mechanical stimulations and their integration into postural control strategies.
