The Warfighter Human Performance Program at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit

Presented as a part of ACSM's Brown Bags Series in Science: The Warfighter Human Performance Program at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit
Presenter: Erin Simmons, Ph.D., Research Physiologist
Dr. Erin Simmons earned her Ph.D. in Nutrition from Texas A&M University, where she performed research on muscle protein synthesis and sport performance. Following her master's degree from Florida State University, she worked as a laboratory technician at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU). At Texas A&M, her research focus shifted to nutrition and exercise physiology, a decision facilitated both by her time at NEDU as well as her role as a volunteer assistant coach with the multi-year national champion Texas A&M Track and Field team. Currently, she is a Department of Defense contractor working as a research physiologist to study human performance and nutrition at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit in Panama City Beach, Florida.
