I have a research background in the study of sleep and autonomic control of thermoregulation. My research program focuses on: 1) the intersection of the CNS circuits regulating body temperature and sleep-wake state, 2) the CNS mechanisms responsible for the alterations in thermoregulation and sleep-wake state during hibernation and torpor-like states, and 3) the application of this framework to the induction of therapeutic hypothermia, particularly related to improving outcomes in models of ischemic brain injury.
