Research Interests:
1)Health and safety consequences of sleep and circadian disruption.
2)Influence of sleep and circadian rhythms on human physiology (neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune function) and behavior (sleepiness, memory, learning, mood, cognitive and motor performance) with application to public health and safety.
3)Countermeasures to improve sleep, wakefulness, and health.
