Sean Roach


Founder & CEO
Sean Roach
DPT, PHD, MSC
Sean is the founder and owner of Emergence Physical Therapy Strength and Running Performance Center in Redmond, Oregon. The facility is a culmination of 37 years in the health care industry. The current practice is an emerging process that combines equally the best elements of science, psychology, wellness and a philosophy of human nature. The overall philosophy of the clinic is one which attempts to understand humans as a product of their unique biology, physical and genetic constitution. In addition to the physical aspects, humans need to be understood in terms of their culture and moment of history in which they find themselves immersed.
Richard Taylor


Science Director
Richard Taylor
PHD
Dr. Taylor is a world-renowned physicist with a love for art and running. With over 325 publications (12 in Nature, 4 in Science), Dr. Taylor focuses his time now on fractal research at the University of Oregon. A fractal is a self-repeating structure that can be found in math and nature, such as the Mandelbrot set, and a tree. Fractal research has far-reaching implications for neuroscience, physiology, vision science and visual art. When Dr. Taylor joined forces with our lead engineer Cooper Boydston to examine running patterns produced in our lab, he became highly interested in their fractal quality. Since then, Dr. Taylor has been an instrumental part of Project Dasein’s scientific development as we revolutionize the art of running.

Cooper Boydston
BS
Cooper, an Oregon native, developed an early passion for science and technology, learning programming and electronics as a teenager. He earned a B.S. in Applied Physics from the University of Oregon and later worked at the UO Institute of Neuroscience, contributing to motor control research using advanced motion analysis tools. He is fascinated by fractal geometry and its connection to human movement.
