Kayla Pariser

Fundraising Lead

Kayla Pariser is a proud graduate of two UDs, receiving her Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dayton in 2018 and her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware in 2023. Kayla is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Rice University. Her research in computational biomechanics involves using musculoskeletal models and simulations to predict, on a patient-specific basis, parameters for rehabilitation that will most effectively improve locomotion in stroke survivors. In her spare time, she can be found playing flute and in the community band and volunteering with The Perry Initiative to inspire young women to become leaders in the fields of orthopaedic surgery and engineering. Kayla currently serves as Fundraising Lead for IWB.
