I am a physiologist and maternal health researcher studying energy balance, physical activity, body composition, and health outcomes during pregnancy and postpartum. Currently, I am a Donnelley Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University.

Starting Fall 2026, I will begin my new role as Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University. My lab will focus on the physiology of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum lactation, with emphasis on the determinants of variation in female reproductive outcomes.

I use methods in molecular and exercise physiology for my research: the doubly labeled water method, indirect calorimetry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, accelerometry, and consumer wearable devices.
