2 Graduation: May 1995 EXPERIENCE present Northeastern University Boston, MA Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Full-time teaching research and service responsibilities include: Conduct and supervise research studies in the Human Performance and Exercise Science Laboratory. Preparation and submission of research grant proposal to federal and private funding agencies Preparation and submission of research manuscripts to peer reviewed journals Design and teach 3 courses (graduate and undergraduate) per academic year Graduate student advisor for four Master in Exercise Science students Service to University including serving on committees, student admission activities, and new faculty search activities University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA Post Doctoral Research Associate Oversee study procedures including data collection, management, and analyses for research supported by an NIH U01 grant awarded to Dr. Patty Freedson. The grant was awarded to Dr Freedson as part of the Genes and Environment Health Initiative (GEI) undertaken by the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health. This research aims at the development and calibration of a field-deployable Integrated Measurement System to measure physical activity in free-living populations. Other responsibilities include supervising and assisting graduate and undergraduate students with their research projects and the preparation of related manuscripts, maintain a positive team-approach in the lab, work with Dr Patty Freedson to prepare grant proposals, and conduct studies on physical activity measurement with wearable sensors.

3 Designed an ongoing study to validate the Integrated Measurement System in a free-living environment. Designed an ongoing study to examine the effect of differences in the technical aspects among various commercially available activity monitors on steps counting. Co-taught an undergraduate class titled Exercise in Health and Disease (Kin397) during the Spring 2012 semester University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN. Graduate Teaching Associate Prepared and taught laboratory sections for undergraduate courses in Exercise Physiology and Fitness Testing and Exercise Prescription and a graduate course in Exercise Testing and Prescription. Responsibilities also included preparing and grading examinations. Graduate Research Assistant Carried out data collection, management, and analyses for research supported by an NIH R21 grant awarded to Dr. David Bassett. This research examined outputs from four different objective monitors of physical activity (Actigraph, Actical, Sensewear Armband, and Stepwatch). Research Experience Designed and executed a research protocol to examine the effects of using treadmill workstations on various body composition and health related variables. Designed and executed a research protocol to examine the effects of using treadmill workstations on work productivity. Designed and executed a research protocol to determine if differences exist within 4 different generations of ActiGraph accelerometers (7164 and 3 different models of the GT1Ms). Assisted in a research project examining the accuracy of the Nike + physical activity monitor Ithaca College Ithaca, NY. Graduate Teaching Assistant

4 Prepared and taught laboratory sessions for an undergraduate course in Anatomy and Physiology. Responsibilities included administering and grading quizzes and examinations. Research experience Conducted a study to examine if palpated recovery heart rate measures reflected actual exercise heart rate in participants from a group exercise class. Data from this study was used to determine correction factors to account for the delay that exists before palpated heart rates are obtained. This study was a Masters Thesis project. Heart Rate Response to Focused vs. Non-Focused Slide Board Activity- Research study for a graduate exercise physiology class. Horizontal Velocity & Stride Length for the Final Stride and Take-Off in a College Aged Long Jumpers in Comparison to Elite Athletes: A Case Study- Research study for an undergraduate biomechanics class.

Bombay, India Other Work Experience Senior Wood Finish Executive ( ) overlooking sales and marketing for the city of Bombay. Responsibilities included designing and organizing marketing events for the Large Business User segment, design promotional schemes for authorized dealers, and resolving end user grievances. Territory Sales In-charge ( ) overlooking sales for designated areas in Bombay city. Responsibilities included management of sales and accounts with authorized dealers Ace Athletic Club Bombay, India Assistant coach for track and field events (high, long and triple jumps) Maharashtra State Amateur Athletic Association Bombay, India

5 Other Experience Represented Bombay city and Maharashtra state at state and national level athletic championships, in high jump for four consecutive years. Held state high jump record for boys under 22 years (PR: 6ft and 4in). Placed third at the national track and field championships in Represented Bombay University at several inter-varsity track and field competitions.
