I am a clinical trials methodologist with a focus on complex interventions such as sleep, lifestyle interventions, surgery and implantable medical devices, and CNV genetic disorders. I am a board member and clinical specialty lead of the IDEAL Collaboration, University of Oxford, which seeks to improve the quality of evidence and innovation in complex interventions, and a scientific advisor for the Project 8p foundation for persons with 8p genetic disorders. I am a Senior Lecturer in Motor Control and Motor Learning, and Statistics and Research Methods in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University, Boston, and a Clinical Research Scholar at the Harvard Medical School, where I was a LEND Fellow in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities.
I am a Physiotherapist and Early Intervention specialist with a 25 years of experience with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. I received a BSc (Hons), MSc (Hons), and Doctor of Physiotherapy degrees at Northeastern University, Boston. I also graduated with an MSc (distinction) in Evidence-based Healthcare at the University of Oxford, Nuffield Department for Primary Care Health Sciences, investigating bidirectional relationships between childhood Epilepsy and Autism Spectrum Disorders, and will submit my DPhil (PhD) in Evidence-based Healthcare thesis at the University of Oxford in August 2021. For my PhD research at SCNLab, I will be investigating the combined effects of sleep and acute exercise on memory in persons with restricted sleep under the supervision of Dr. Dang-Vu.
My motto, in the words of Benjamin Franklin: “Energy and persistence conquer all things.”
I have a strong interest in sleep, circadian neuroscience, and the role of lifestyle factors such as physical activity on physical and mental health. I am particularly interested in how Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disruption (SCRD) can influence health problems ranging from poor cognition or memory, reduced immunity, to increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
