Ferdinand Delgado is a Postdoctoral Diversity & Innovation Scholar in the University of New Hampshire's Department of Kinesiology. He holds a B.S. in Mathematics from SUNY Brockport, an M.S. in Kinesiology (emphasis in Sports Science) from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, and a Ph.D. in Exercise and Nutritional Sciences (emphasis in Biomechanics) from Arizona State University.
His research focuses on reducing the risk of falls in older adults through innovative approaches that encompass both cognitive and physical aspects. Ferdinand aims to leverage extended reality (XR) technology to promote physical activity and cognitive training, striving to integrate cognition and movement for more effective fall prevention strategies. He also applies advanced statistical methods for data analysis to develop novel approaches in the field.
Overall, his contributions to the field seek to deepen our understanding of the complex interplay between cognition and movement, ultimately leading to more effective interventions and an improved quality of life for older adults.
