Leigh Ann Martin
I am currently a postdoctoral associate working with Dr. Yarden Golan in DNS, focused on nutrition and lactation biology. My graduate research aimed to examine the relationships between micronutrient biomarker concentrations (specifically, vitamin B12) and plasma volume in non-pregnant and pregnant females. My postdoctoral research in CHE is investigating the mind-body connection in the transition from pregnancy to lactation, and potential genetic signatures related to common breastfeeding problems.

His research examines the cognitive and emotional processes that influence how wayfinders experience, interpret, and transit through complex architectural spaces, with a particular interest in the challenges associated with large healthcare settings and the emotional weight these environments carry. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates design research, environmental psychology, and cognitive science, he
