I work on a variety of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized-controlled trials for nutrition and obesity interventions, as well as reviews on public health topics. As a result of these experiences, I am working on meta-research to improve the findability of scientific literature to support the FAIR principles.
I am interested in gender and racial differences in behavioral and neuroendocrine risk factors for weight gain, as well as resistance to weight loss. In particular, I am focused on stress-related influences on disinhibitory eating and body composition in humans and animal models. I am also interested in psychological and physiological changes in hunger and appetite regulation after bariatric surgery.
