Bio
My interdisciplinary research focuses on how environmental exposures, such as light and temperature, affect the biological timing system (e.g., chronobiology or "body clocks") and sleep. My lab uses wearable devices as tools to objectively measure environmental exposures and physiological outcomes, with three main foci: (1) light, temperature, and other environmental exposures, (2) climate change, and (3) epilepsy. More information about the Sensing Populations to Investigate Rhythms and Light (SPIRAL) lab and current opportunities can be found here: https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/spiral/
