Sydney Schaefer is currently an associate professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. She earned her undergraduate degree in sports medicine from Pepperdine University. She then received her doctorate in kinesiology with an emphasis in motor control from the Pennsylvania State University, and completed her postdoctoral training in stroke rehabilitation at Washington University in St. Louis in the Biomedical Engineering and Physical Therapy programs. Her current research aims to develop motor-based screening tools for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and improve neurorehabilitation in older adults by studying how aging and cognitive impairment affect motor skill learning. Dr. Schaefer's research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association and various non-profit foundations. Dr. Schaefer is also the co-founder of Neurosessments LLC, a start-up company spun out of Arizona State University.
