Baothy Huynh, OTD, OTR/L is a licensed occupational therapist and a current Ph.D. candidate in the Brain Recovery Lab, directed by Dr. Teresa Kimberley. She is a 2024-2025 AAUW American Fellow. She is broadly interested in understanding the pathophysiology that underscores neurorecovery and neurodegenerative disorders. She worked at a Boston-based biotechnology startup before joining the PhD program in 2020. Her research endeavors are at the intersection of neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, and data-driven technology. Specifically, she is interested in the assessment, measurement, and analysis of neurorecovery data and the potential impact on clinical decision-making and functional outcomes.
