Chronic pain is a debilitating condition affecting 1 in 5 humans and animals. Our research aims to address the urgent need for the development of effective therapeutic strategies to clinically alleviate chronic pain symptoms.
My research lies in the field of global environmental governance, focusing primarily on the role of cities and transnational city-networks in reducing the world's global carbon footprint.
My ultimate goal is to improve understanding of the complex interplay of factors that impact children’s pain and health to identify best practices for intervention.
My research program studies the effects of agricultural management practices (tillage and cropping systems) on the nature and dynamics of soil organic matter (SOM).
My research interests include bullying and cyberbullying, policing, and victimization. I am particularly interested in the ways in which the peer, family, and school contexts influence adolescents' involvement in cyberbullying, and how groups of adults collaborate to prevent and respond to cyberbullying.
One of my main research activities addresses the development of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) which are used today in all types of applications including security systems, consumer products, medical equipment, manufacturing systems, robotics to name just a few.
