| Designation: | Adjunct Associate Professor (non-teaching) with Center for Indic Studies. My training is in mathematics (BA), psychology (MA), and the social sciences (PhD). |
|---|---|
| Area of interest: | I am primarily a methodologist, designing and analyzing (statistical) human research, especially on the mind-body issues, such as in health and healing. |
| Area of specialization: | Consciousness studies, parapsychology, science and spirituality, meditation, attention, and intention. |
| Hobbies: | Reading (non-fiction), swimming, traveling and following NCAA division I basketball (especially my alma mater, UNC). |
| Role in Indic studies: |
I assist with planning and coordinating conferences which highlight the East-West synergy and bring India's psycho-spiritual traditions to Western attention. I founded the Elder Meditation Project through which I bring meditation training to seniors in nursing homes who would otherwise not have access to it. |
| Message: | Much of my life has been making personal and professional "discoveries" - such as the power of the mind, meditation, and healing through intention - which are accepted truths for thousands of years in India. I view myself as a bridge across which these powerful and nurturing discoveries can be brought to other Westerners in a palatable and understandable form. " |
