Personal profile
Research Interests
I am the director of the Exercise Technology & Cognition Laboratory which is housed within the Kinesiology & Community Health Department in the College of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on understanding factors that facilitate long-term physical activity behavior and self-regulation across the lifespan. My lab employs an interdisciplinary, social neuroscience framework to study psychosocial and cognitive antecedents and outcomes of regular exercise. To complement traditional supervised, center-based physical activity interventions, we utilize adjuvant therapies and technology-delivered methods to enhance physical activity and cognitive performance.
