More
I am an Assistant Professor of Exercise Physiology at California State University, Long Beach. I am the co-director of the Physiology of EXercise and Sport (PEXS) lab where my focus is on understanding how the regulation of skeletal muscle mass affects outcomes on health and sport performance. My general interests include biomechanics of the knee joint, ergogenic aids and sports performance, optimization of training programs and nutritional support for strength and hypertrophy, exercise countermeasures for spaceflight, and the biology of the myogenic satellite cell. I completed his doctoral training at The Ohio State University (GO BUCKS) where I focused on Muscle Physiology and Biomechanics. I continued my training in Exercise Physiology as an NIH sponsored fellow at the University of California, Irvine. I have co-authored a chapter on protein timing in the book “Dietary Protein and Resistance Exercise” and have authored several peer-reviewed articles found in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, and Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance (https://www.researchgate.net/p...). I am certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT). Outside of academics, I enjoy being outdoors playing volleyball at the beach (doesn't happen too often these days) or hiking beautiful spots around the world.
