Welcome!
- My name is Greg Petrucci, and I am a researcher passionate about innovating human health with wearable technology. I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Massachusetts in the Department of Kinesiology working under the supervision of John R. Sirard, Ph.D.. I also work closely with John Staudenmayer. My research interests lie in using accelerometers to estimate aspects of physical behaviors (e.g., physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep).
Research
-
I’ve worked extensively on projects aimed at calibration and validation of accelerometer data processing methods (see MOCA for more details).
-
Recently I’ve been keen on making accelerometer data processing methods (i.e., existing and new, simple cut-points and complex machine learning techniques) easily accessible for use in intervention and cohort studies. I plan to build on the work of Clevenger et al., and Pffeiffer et al., where my specific goals are to 1) ecologically identify and 2) provide (end)user-friendly access to accelerometer data processing methods that are accurate, reliable, and sensitive to detect changes in physical behaviors that are known to be associated with human health.
Publications, Conference Abstracts, and Presentations📚
- 📚 (publications page) lists my refereed publications, conference abstracts, presentations, and more. Including a .pdf of my somewhat up-to-date? CV.
Teaching
- Teaching is equally important and exciting to me as working in the lab. Connecting with undergraduate students is so much fun. My CV lists all my teaching experiences (e.g., laboratory teaching assistantships and instructor of record).
- Be on the lookout for a 📔 post announcing my Summer 2024, Fall 2024, and Spring 2025 teaching schedule.
