Dr. Goršič’s research focuses on the development and utilization of technologies that can assess or assist human movement. She developed an intention detection algorithm using wearable sensory system to control ankle prostheses for transfemoral amputees, designed interpersonal virtual environments to promote exercise for arm rehabilitation after stroke and worked with different trunk exoskeletons and exosuits for back support and pain management. Her current work includes assessing and developing technologies to support wheelchair users. She leads multiple research projects, collaborates with local nonprofit organizations, and mentors a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students.
