RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests involve understanding the supply and demand for oxygen in tissues such as skeletal muscle and brown adipose. To this end I use a variety of noninvasive techniques such as Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and spectroscopy to study human research subjects across a range of ages (college-aged to octogenarians) and physical activity levels (sedentary to highly trained athletes). The goal of my research is to better understand the interplay between the demand and supply for oxygen by these tissues and the impact of chronic physical activity and different disease states.
