About
Dylan Reinsdorf is a researcher at the intersection of engineering education and rehabilitation robotics, whose work addresses pressing challenges in both remote learning and post-stroke motor recovery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Reinsdorf led a pioneering effort to rapidly convert a project-based engineering course into a remote format, mailing experimental kits to 285 undergraduates and developing a multiplayer online robot simulation game. This work, which has garnered 14 citations, demonstrated that students could achieve cognitive objectives comparable to in-person instruction, offering a scalable model for hands-on STEM education during crises. In rehabilitation engineering, Reinsdorf’s recent research explores variants of active assist robotic therapy, investigating the feasibility of virtual assistance and proprioceptive training for finger movement after stroke. By questioning the necessity of complex, visuo-motor-focused robotic systems, this work—cited twice since its 2025 publication—proposes more pragmatic, targeted interventions that could broaden access to effective therapy. Reinsdorf’s contributions bridge practical pedagogy and innovative neurorehabilitation, reflecting a commitment to making both education and recovery more adaptable and inclusive.
