I am a postdoc investigating the nature by which fear entrains (synchronizes) circadian rhythms. Disruptions in circadian rhythms have been identified as a core feature of many anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. However, the underlying mechanisms causing these long-lasting effects remain unclear. My current research is centered around the usage of an emergent diurnal-rodent model, the antelope ground squirrel (Ammospermophilus leucurus<\/em>), to understand the behavioral, physiological, and neural basis of how the circadian time-stamp of fear is manifest in organisms. With this research, I aim to generate a comprehensive understanding of fear entrainment that is more translatable to human health than existing nocturnal models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to this appointment, I completed my BS in Integrative Biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2015 and my PhD in Biology at Northern Arizona University in 2021. As an ecophysiologist by training, I am also ingrained with a curiosity for understanding behavioral and physiological adaptations of animals in the wild. I am excited about coupling this research background in free-living animal systems with the experimental techniques used in the de la Iglesia lab to pursue innovative research projects here at UW and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
