Exercise Science PhD program

My studies are focusing on obesity and sleep apnea. Although obesity and sleep apnea don't appear to be a likely focus in exercise science, they're major public health issue. I certainly didn't expect to be collaborating with faculty with such diverse interests and backgrounds. But since I started in the program, I've had the opportunity to work with some outstanding scientists—from here at the university and also from the medical community. Because of these opportunities, I'll definitely continue to work in the areas of sleep research and sleep medicine.
