Overview

                                  “No Research Without Action, No Action Without Research

                                                                                                                     Kurt Lewin (1890-1947)

 

I am a behavioral sleep medicine and population health researcher with training in economics, public health, clinical research, and sleep medicine whose work examines how sleep and circadian health, oral health, the oral microbiome, and social determinants shape health across the life course. My research integrates epidemiology, systems science, and advanced quantitative methods, including agent-based and system dynamics modeling, to identify pathways for improving population health.

I earned a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Economics and a Ph.D. in Public Health and Healthcare Management from the University of Montreal, an M.Sc. in Sleep Medicine from the University of Oxford, and a postgraduate certificate in Clinical Research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. My interdisciplinary training informs my work at the intersection of sleep health, oral health, population health. 

I am particularly interested in the interplay among sleep, circadian rhythms, nutrition, oral microbiome ecology, and health outcomes during adolescence and emerging adulthood. My goal is to generate actionable evidence that informs public health practice, clinical care, and policy.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School and a Research Scientist in the COBRE Center for Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Child and Adolescent Mental Health at Bradley Hospital. I am currently part of the Dental Public Health Leadership Academy (DPHLA), a national leadership development program for leaders in dental public health.

I serve on the Scientific Review Committee of the Sleep Research Society and hold editorial leadership roles in sleep and public health research.
