Matthew Lujan, MS

Instructional Specialist, Senior, Physiology
Research Interests

My research interests include wearable technology (i.e., Apple Watches, FitBits, etc.) and how we can leverage changes in physiology for accurate measurement of our sleep. As an educator, I am interested in helping physiology undergraduates find opportunities both on and off campus in preparation for graduate and professional school. Through this endeavor, I strive to help every student in the pursuit of their ultimate career goals.
