Research Interests
My research interests lie in the interdiciplinary areas of Neurocience, Psychology, and Sport Sciences by examining the behavioral and neural effect of exercise-based interventions on neurodevelopmental issues in typically as well as atypically developing children. I am currently working on designing two computer-based exercise training programs for improving developmental deficits in children with neurodevelopmental conditions using martial arts and fundamental perceptual motor skills.
