Research Interests
My research examines the impact of sleep loss and/or sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and physiological functioning in healthy normal sleepers as well as those with sleep disorders in highly controlled laboratory- and home-based settings. Other areas interest include clinical/pharmaceutical trials and sleep health disparities.
Dr. Hansen will be considering graduate student applications for Fall 2024 admission to the Experimental Psychology PhD Program.
