Role: Middle author

Description: Characterised the sleep patterns of Division 1 athletes.

Role: Middle author

Description: Found a pattern in heart rate variability throughout pregnancy that predicted the time until birth.

Role: Middle author

Description: Performed longitudinal examination of sleeping behaviors of US army soldiers stationed in Alaska and the associations of these sleep behaviors with mental health and performance.

Role: Middle author

Description: Developed state-of-the-art methods to extract explainable features from retinal fundus images. Further assessed associations of these features with disease progression and genetic heritability.

Role: Middle author

Description: Characterised feeding patterns in Division 1 soccer players and how these eating patterns may impact sleep.

Role: First author

Description: Developed and validated methods to assess stress levels in free-living individuals wearing a wearable device.

Role: First author

Description: Characterized the physiological response to COVID vaccination and found that vaccinates acutely impact cardiovascular physiology for ~1 night.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Characterized the adipocyte-specific response to high omega-3 fatty acid intake during early life using metabolomics, proteomics, and single cell RNA-sequencing and found candidate transcription factors that may establish early-life cellular changes that confer life-long benefits of early life omega-3 intake.

Role: First Author

Description: Characterized muscle-specific transcriptomic response to weight loss and found that skeletal muscle lipoprotein lipase expression plays a critical role in regulating energy expenditure during weight regain.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Determined cell- and species-specific differences in recovering from eye damage and discovered novel pathway that may be therapeutically targeted to help restore eyesight.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Assessed effect of diet and exercise on bone health.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Characterized the sex-specific responses to exercise and found that females may have greater difficulty in losing weight with exercise due to compensatory food intake.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Found that exercise may not prevent weight gain that occurs with menopause.

Role: First Author

Description: Found that exercise potentiates hepatic de novo lipogensis during overfeeding, which may explain the increased thermic effect of food observed with exercise.

Role: First Author

Description: Found that energy expended during cold does not lead to an increase in total daily energy expenditure due to compensatory behaviors that reduce physical activity.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Reviewed the efficacy of exercise to promote and maintain weight loss.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Found that genetically altering lactating mothers to produce higher levels of n-3 fatty acids confers benefits to the offspring that last a lifetime.

Role: Middle Author

Description: Weight loss before menopause may lead to accelerated weight gain during menopause.
