Transitioning from efficacious and effective trials to dissemination for public health benefit remains to be a challenge. My research activity is committed to overcoming this challenge via the development and application of user-centered strategies to promote and facilitate evidence-based behavior change, with particular focus on workplace sedentary behavior reduction strategies and T2D prevention (see 1-3 below). My goal is to become an independent biobehavioral scientist that applies both physiologica and behavioral evidence to design feasible, acceptable and cost effective interventions for diabetes prevention. Ultimately my career trajectory is aligned to conduct large scale, longitudinal studies of high ecological validity to expand knowledge that may inform public health recommendations.
