Introduction
I am a writer and athlete as well as a scientist. I have written some books and have collaborated on a novel. I was an elite athlete for 20 years, competing throughout the world as part of the US Team and later coaching the team. I'm also an avid coffee drinker, DnD aficionado, and full-time nerd according to my kids.
Top Fields
Biology & Life Sciences, Psychology & Cognitive Science, Medicine & Public Health
Research Areas
This mentor can support projects in stroke rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, exercise protocols, geriatrics, and nutritional science. Their broader areas include human physiology, kinesiology, exercise science, neuroscience, and rehabilitative science.
Background
AJ’s research background includes exercise protocol testing and design, with work in stroke rehabilitation, proprioception development, neuromuscular integration, gait analysis, and vascular flow measurement with oxygen perfusion testing. He has experience in exercise physiology labs involving human subject protocols, IRB protocols, VO2 max testing, submaximal exercise testing, spirometry, pulmonary function testing, hydrostatic weighing, BodPod measurement, tilt-table testing, and EKG testing and interpretation.
He has also worked with perfused lung experiments in rabbits, including animal care, pharmaceutical injections, surgical incisions, suturing, arterial cannulation, pulmonary perfusion, exsanguination, vein removal, test animal euthanasia and disposal, and laboratory equipment care including surgical sterilization techniques.
