our understandingof mechanisms by
which photic andnon-photic stimuli (e.g.,
exogenousmelatonin) canbe used as
countermeasures to improve sleep,
wakefulness andperformance, aswell as
how they canbe integrated to influence
sleepand entrain circadian rhythms. Dr.
Burke also studies educational methods
includingan ongoingproject examining
theutilization of active learning teaching
methodology college science courses.

interests focus on clinical sleepmedicine,
witha specific interest in delayed sleep
