Current Postdoctoral Scholars
Research Interests
I am deeply interested in the behavioral and neural underpinnings of motivated behaviors, and how the overlap in neural circuits engaged in voluntary physical activity and excessive alcohol intake can help inform the therapeutic potential of physical activity to treat alcohol use disorders.
Research Interests
I am interested in how drugs of abuse affect the brain and behavior in the short- and long-term. I am currently studying the role of protein translation in cue-induced motivation.
