As a postdoctoral researcher I am working with Dr. Charles Hillman to advance the foundational development of the research program I worked to initiate while a PhD student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My research interests are focused primarily on the complex interplay between health and executive function. I am especially concerned with the self-perpetuating cycle whereby reduced physical activity can lead to low executive function, and low executive function can lead to reduced activity. My long-term goal in this pursuit is to inform and advance technological breakthroughs (e.g., leveraging data from personal health devices) to improve critical health outcomes. Currently, I am on a natural path to a career in academia, but am also open to opportunities in industry if the right opportunity comes around.
