Key Words: Cardiovascular reactivity and stress, Electrophysiology

Research Description: My work involves studying the effects of stress on the cardiovascular system. I am also interested in how certain personality or physical characteristics may mediate the effects of stress on physiology. We primarily measure variables like heart rate and blood pressure, along with various personality and anthropometric variables.
