Biography

Buman's research interests includes health behaviors across the 24h spectrum - sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity - and how optimally these behaviors may be harnessed for health promotion. His major areas of focus include the validation and development of wearable sensors for quantifying these behaviors, sustainable interventions to improve these behaviors, and enviroments/contexts in which these behaviors are optimally supported.
