I am Dr. Reuben N. Addison, an assistant Professor in kinesiology at DePauw University and an applied researcher at heart. I earned my Ph.D. in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University During that time, I had the privilege of guiding undergraduates through courses in Biomechanics, Motor Control, Sports Psychology, and Sports Analytics, while also mentoring them in Research Methods. My post-doctoral work at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and gained hands-on experience with fMRI, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and advanced statistical analysis. I am currently working on a proposal with a team in Jackson State on the Jackson heart study – a group I met at the workshop last summer.
