Research Interests

• Specifically, my interests are in blood flow changes or adaptations in individuals with cardiac and/or metabolic conditions (including; heart failure, heart transplant, LVAD, diabetes).
• Exercise tolerance and rehabilitation for populations with cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and/or mental illness .
• Precision programming for performance, injury prevention and rehabilitation in elite athletes and high risk individuals.
• Cost effectiveness of exercise (strength development) for cardiac rehab and the general public
• Use of technology in exercise science.
