Research
Collaboration + Applied Work
My research intersects autonomic regulation, interoception, trauma physiology, identity systems, and neuro‑innovation. I welcome inquiries related to research collaboration, applied psychophysiology projects, consulting, or interdisciplinary work connected to these domains. If you’re exploring a project or want to discuss potential partnership, you’re invited to reach out.
Autonomic, Interoceptive, Predictive, and Processual experiences (AIPP)
Integrating autonomic, interoceptive, predictive, and experiential processing systems to explain the regulatory framework of viable systems.
AIPP identifies autonomic, interoceptive, predictive, and experiential processes as interdependent structural systems that co‑operate to produce regulatory coherence, variability, and failure. The architecture demonstrates how dysregulation (volatility) and deregulation (rigidity) emerge from architectural instability across these systems, and shows that these patterns appear consistently across domains such as persistent somatic symptoms, gut–brain and inflammatory processes, anxiety and panic, and substance use disorders.
ENS–Brain Axis & Vagal Regulation
Exploring how the enteric nervous system, vagal tone, and gut‑brain signaling shape emotional regulation, stress physiology, and somatic symptom expression.
This project investigates the ENS–brain axis as a bidirectional regulatory system influencing autonomic tone, interoceptive accuracy, inflammation, and stress resilience. Areas of focus include vagal pathways, microbiota‑brain communication, neurogastroenterology, and the role of gut‑mediated prediction errors in symptom persistence. This work supports integrative approaches to trauma recovery, chronic stress, and multisystem dysregulation.
