Interests: As a full time Associate Teaching Professor, I do not maintain a research lab or program. My academic training is in Social Psychology and Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and I have taught courses on those topics in the past. One of my current interests is the psychology of sleep, and I currently teach a course on this topic (Psych222, Current Directions in Psychology: Sleep).
