About Me
I am currently a postdoc with the Division of Physical Activity and Weight Management at The University of Kansas Medical Center. My educational background is a blend of exercise physiology and public health and my research interests are broadly described as physical activity epidemiology and weight management in individuals with disabilities. I am a husband, father, runner and triathlete, and an avid #RStats user who enjoys collaborating on innovative research ideas or open source code.
Take a look at some of the work I do and let me know if you are interested in working together on a project!
Summary of my research interests
-
Conducting physical activity and weight management interventions in special populations to prevent obesity and other sedentary-related diseases.
-
Improving the validity and reliability of objectively-measured physical activity, dietary intake, and energy expenditure in special populations.
-
Utilizing sensors and technology to capture data that has ecological validity at the behavioral, biological, and physiological level in real-time to inform and adapt interventions.
