Overview
During my sleep medicine fellowship training at Brigham & Women's Hospital, I was awarded the Physician Scientist Training Award from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine to study the effects of interns' work hours and sleep deprivation on safety. As part of the Harvard Work Hours, Health, and Safety Group (HWHHSG), my research focused on the impact of work hours, sleep deficiency and circadian disruption on health and safety outcomes in safety sensitive occupations.
My experience in studying sleep deprivation and injury risk in resident physicians has provided me with a solid foundation to further study the health risks of sleep deprivation across other occupational groups, including transportation workers, athletes, active members of the military and veterans, as well as educators. I have worked with these groups to provide practical tips to optimize performance and safety. I also have experience in developing consumer and medical sleep tracking devices so that sleep and performance (ex: cognitive, athletic, etc) can be improved for the general public. I am passionate about wellness, including the intersection of sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
