Faculty bio
My research focuses on the day-to-day experiences of health and well-being, and the many personal and contextual factors (e.g., physical activity, stress, mindfulness, engagement) that influence these daily fluctuations in our health and well-being.
My research utilizes intensive longitudinal designs to improve measurement of both within-person processes and between-person differences in health and well-being, and to address important questions of individual change and variation over multiple timescales across the lifespan.
Leveraging mobile and wearable technology, we are now able to capture individual data with the level of precision and accuracy necessary to account for the daily ups and downs in our well-being experiences and enhance prediction of both short- and long-term changes in health status. I also have a strong interest in advanced methodological approaches to address patterns of change over multiple timescales (e.g., Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling).
