My research focuses on optimizing human performance and metabolic health through innovative approaches in complex metabolic diseases and elite performers. Leveraging nutrition and lifestyle interventions, my work focuses on enhancing cardiometabolic outcomes and quality of life in individuals living with complex metabolic diseases, particularly Type 1 diabetes, as well as advancing performance and resilience among elite athletes and specialized populations operating in extreme environments.

My area of research is electrical insulation system design and characterization for electrified transportation and power-grid applications, with a focus on high-voltage engineering aspects such as: partial discharge diagnostics and inception modeling, space charge measurements, aging and life modeling under AC, DC, and PWM stresses, considering variable environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity.

My primary research is in the education field, specifically education finance and charter schools. My interests include federal statistical system and translating complex data for a lay audience. 

My research focuses on education policy, with an emphasis on civics and character education, school choice, education finance, teacher labor markets, and the philosophical foundations of education reform. My work explores how policy decisions impact educational outcomes and expand opportunities for students and families.

My independent research focuses on sports analytics and using advanced machine learning techniques to look at new insightful ways of exploring current analytical questions for major sports in the US. As a researcher for FSU, I leverage data and analytics to explore areas of undiscovered faculty development.
