Investigating Brain Recovery, Cognitive Optimization, and Performance Longevity

My research sits at the intersection of lived experience and scientific inquiry. After personally navigating the neurological aftermath of repeated concussions, I now lead and collaborate on clinical investigations focused on brain recovery, cognitive performance, and system-wide resilience.

I focus on non-invasive, data-driven protocols designed to improve cognitive clarity, reduce fatigue, and support brain-body healing across a range of conditions—from traumatic brain injury to burnout and long-COVID.

My work prioritizes objective, measurable outcomes using tools like reaction time, executive function testing (TMT), heart rate variability, and neurocognitive markers—providing real-time feedback on what’s actually working.

  • An Examination of the Combined Effects of Multi-Modality Therapy on Cognitive Rehabilitation in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

    Results showed significant improvements in executive function, processing speed, and emotional regulation after integrative treatment combining oxygen therapy, light therapy, and molecular hydrogen. A promising look into non-pharmacologic approaches for post-TBI recovery.

I’m particularly focused on how wearables and tracking technologies can be integrated into personalized recovery and performance protocols. Nutrition and physical exercise also play a critical role in optimizing the brain’s capacity for recovery and sustained performance.

Where Innovation Meets Application

I’m actively seeking collaborators, research partners, and forward-thinking brands who want to bring neuroscience into real-world recovery and performance. Whether you're working in wearables, tracking technology, nutrition, or physical performance—if you’re building something that can push the brain and body further, I want to hear from you.
