Bio

My research focuses on workplace productivity and self-control, with a focus on evidence-based approaches to improve performance and reduce common workplace and student stressors. I’m conducting research to explores strategies to maximize productivity, reduce procrastination and improve overall time management skills.

As well, I'm interested in strategies to combat misinformation. Regardless of academic success or training in science, many people hold ideas that are not supported by empirical evidence. My research explores strategies to promote scientific thinking with the goal of making people better overall consumers of information.

Measure of infrasound across Alberta

The goal of this project will be to explore the levels of infrasound in various parts of the province. Infrasound is a low frequency sound below 20Hz that can be found naturally in traffic, low-rumbling pipes, and during thunderstorms among other sources. Infrasound has been associated with feelings of fear and anxiety, but also feelings of awe and wonder. In this project, the student will measure infrasound in naturally occurring settings as well as in settings such as concerts, public lecture halls, and heavy traffic/LRT areas.
