OverView
My research interests broadly encompass clinical anatomy, sleep medicine, and musculoskeletal health research. I am particularly interested in the anatomical and physiological basis of sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, and their systemic and functional consequence

I also have a strong interest in musculoskeletal and postural disorders, especially as they relate to ergonomics, prolonged device use, and learning environments, with an emphasis on anatomical structure function relationships

Research Intersets:
sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, and their systemic and functional consequence
clinical anatomy, sleep medicine, and musculoskeletal health research
