I have studied the behavior and physiology of wild animals in the Canadian Yukon, the Kalahari desert, and the wilds of southwestern Ohio or northern Michigan. I enjoy taking a longitudinal approach to my scientific questions where we study individual animals over long periods of time. This allows us to understand how animals respond to ...

We are interested in segmenting key pathologic features of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in clinical retinal images that are routinely obtained in clinic. In particular, we are using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images combined with near-infrared reflectance (NIR) images to follow the many disease features of AMD. Many of these features are similar in appearance, ...

While Antarctica is an icy, cold, desolate place today, 80 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous it was warm, forested and biogeographically connected to Australia and South America. What plants were growing in these forests, how diverse were they, and what was their role in the assembly of modern forests in the Southern Hemisphere ...

My research investigates how psychological stress influences biological aging and inflammatory processes, through the lens of psychoneuroimmunology. My work primarily utilizes complex, longitudinal, and psychophysiological datasets. I use multilevel modeling to examine inter- and intra-variability in stress responses, as well as time-series and longitudinal analyses to assess changes in inflammatory markers and psychological states over ...

Two of our most recent projects apply our theory of emotion, stress, and empathy with multimodal physiological data collection and machine learning to study people's response to real-world events. In both studies, participants wear biometric devices (a watch or a ring) that measure their physiological response during a real-world event and then the data are ...

Understanding why we sleep remains one of the most enduring mysteries in science. A core feature of sleep is its homeostatic regulation, i.e., waking experience drives subsequent sleep. Here we are investigating the molecular basis of the sleep homeostat: 1) how does the homeostat sense waking signals? 2) How does the homeostat trigger sleep? 3) ...

I use omics techniques to study Lake Erie cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) and work with collaborators from the medical school to study the effects of graft versus host disease on intestinal microbes following bone marrow transplant. One of my major projects is the Great Lakes Atlas of Multi-omics Research (GLAMR) database, which seeks to ...

Megan Killian

The long-term goal of my research program is to discover therapeutic targets, including druggable therapies and rehabilitative strategies, that promote tendon and enthesis regeneration. My research portfolio includes the development of pre-clinical and translational models to study the development, injury, and healing of the tendon enthesis. Our work also integrates imaging based tools (nanocomputed tomography; ...

My research is driven by a strong belief that abstracting complex scientific problems into computational problems has the power to accelerate the speed of scientific discovery and change who, here and how scientific discoveries are made and translated into practical solutions. I apply this principle to integrate computational techniques such as machine learning and artificial ...
