Profile Summary

Broad expertise in neuroscience, brain plasticity, perception, cognition and motor behavior. Extensive history obtaining and managing federally-funded research grants and research center administration. Award-winning teaching and mentoring from undergraduate to junior faculty levels. My personal experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the demands of a successful academic career and how to manage them effectively and efficiently while also leading a full life. Along the way, I have developed and led two research centers specializing neuroscience as well as my own federally funded laboratory, published widely, and lectured internationally. I have mentored a large number of junior faculty, post-doctoral scholars, and graduate students, helping them to refine and achieve their professional goals. My skills include successful federal grant development (with insights achieved through years served on NIH panels and numerous other international funding agencies), research project planning and management, team leadership, and effective written and oral communication. Projects involving ghost writing of manuscripts, theses or dissertations will not be considered. Please don't ask.
