About
My research explores the science of “sitting less, moving more, sleeping well” on physical, social-emotional, and cognitive health during the developmental years. Currently, my team does this through 1) observational studies to identify associations of time-use patterns and daily activity profiles on brain and physical health outcomes, 2) experimental studies to explore acute effects of altered time-use patterns or behaviors on cognitive and psycho-social measures, and 3) the design and implementation of behavior change and policy intervention studies delivered in school and childcare settings.
