Research

Overview

My research investigates the overlap of sleep apnea with COPD, and how to improve care and outcomes for these patients. Additionally, my work explores opportunities to improve sleep in the hospital setting. I also evaluate sleep health in healthcare workers and implementations to improve sleep health in healthcare workers.
