Director, Center for Healthy Aging
Sliwinski directs The Center for Healthy Aging and the Penn State Geroscience and Dementia Prevention Consortium. Sliwinski’s research interests involve dynamic phenotyping of daily experiences (e.g., stress, social activity) and cognitive function to understand their inter-relationships across multiple time scales (e.g., micro-changes across days and longer-term changes across years or decades). His projects embed brief ambulatory cognitive assessments into ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and daily diary designs to obtain multiple ‘snapshots’ (i.e., frequent measurements) of cognitive function, ongoing behavior, psychological states, and environmental exposures in real-time and in people’s natural environment.
