Graduate Student Directory

Mounica Ayyalasomayajula’s research focuses on energy, metabolism, and performance in athletes and active people to enhance health and performance.

Aaron’s research focuses on the history of sports team relocation and stadium construction, particularly in the United States.

Roberto's research focuses on the effects of inactivity and load on musculoskeletal architecture. 

Virginia G Content’s research focuses on women's cardiovascular health and utilizes the human cutaneous circulation to understand cardiovascular and autonomic adjustments to exercise in racial populations.

Caellum Impelluso's research focuses on the impact of physical activity on mental health outcomes among the young adult population.  

Sayan’s research focuses on applying the physical laws of nature to decipher the complex control of human movement.

Logan Faux-Dugan's research investigates the influence of mechanical gearing of the foot-ankle complex on muscle function and gait in healthy and clinical populations.

My research explores the role of nationalism in Cuban sports.

Physiological aspects: Protein synthesis and muscle growth, Muscle dysfunction along with muscle atrophy

Cam researches college sport at the Division III level and what identifies the historical and cultural forces that motivate athletes to compete in the NCAA's largest division, even without the athletic scholarships and prestige of "big time" college sport.

Alexandria's research focuses on determining neurovascular mechanisms activated by transient receptor potential (TRP) channel agonists topically applied to the skin. Understanding these mechanisms will help us improve treatments for pain management.

Jessica's research studies the effects of growth-period exercise on locomotor function and energetics using a guinea fowl animal model.

Angus's research focuses on the analysis of how the human brain uses sensory information during reaching tasks to elucidate the complex mechanisms underlying sensory integration in movement.

Ben's research focuses on investigating the role of extrinsic foot muscles in jumping and running tasks.

Taliah’s research focus is on play, games and the good life.

Paul's research focuses on non-invasive brain stimulation and its effects on motor learning and lateralization. 

My research focuses on improving prenatal health by studying health behaviors in pregnant individuals. I am particularly interested in using digital devices and wearable activity trackers to predict and prevent negative health outcomes.

My research interest lies mainly in the relationship between body image, sleep, and psychological outcomes in pregnant women and the general population.

Jia-Hao's research focuses on using EEG and TMS to study the neural mechanism of visual input and motor output and changes in cortical properties during motor tasks in patients with neurological disorders and health populations.
