Research

I study traumatic injury and prehospital resuscitation. We leverage ground and helicopter emergency medical services (EMS) information, continuous waveform measurements, clinical data, multi-omics approaches, and markers of immune function and tissue damage to improve outcomes for injured patients. Recent publications: Google Scholar.

Interests

I have worked for and learned from organizations including Foxwall EMS, MIT EMS, NOLS WMI, and Penn State EMS. I spend time running, climbing, and exploring.
