My research efforts are currently focused on

1. the effects of concussion/mTBI on human behavior,
2. epidemiological studies of concussion in collegiate athletes,
3. the neurobiology of concussion in humans and pre-clinical models, and
4. studies of the development of human conjugate eye movements and binocular vision systems.
