His research focuses on understanding variability inherent in human movement. He is an international authority in the study of Nonlinear Dynamics and has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles. Dr. Stergiou’s research spans from infant development to older adult fallers, and has impacted training techniques of surgeons and treatment and rehabilitation techniques of pathologies, such as peripheral arterial disease.
