This study was the first known to use machine learning approaches and research related to exercise physiology.

M.S. Miami University Aug 2014

Kinesiology and Health

Concentration: Exercise and Health Science

Thesis: “Mathematical and Computational Verification of the Use of Localized

Infrared Thermology in the Detection of Muscle Recovery Post-Resistance Training”

This research used mathematical and computational modeling that localized infrared thermology could be used to access muscle recovery status post-resistance training.

The study was one of the first to explore the theoretical application of the use of thermal cameras in the detection of muscle damage/recovery status.

Study Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, England Spring 2012

Abroad Biotechnology/ Confocal Microscopy

Honors College of Mount Saint Joseph May 2012

B.S. Biology with a minor in Chemistry

Thesis: “Use of the Drosophila Activity Monitoring System to Measure Baseline Circadian Rhythms of the Bean Beetle Callosobruchus maculatus”

This research was funded by Emory University through a grant from the National Science Foundation.

The project required methodical work to address health and safety regulations, critical thinking, and close attention to detail in order to achieve accurate results.
