Meet the Guest Speaker

Greg Pavela, Ph.D.

Associate Professor

My research examines the determinants and consequences of body weight and weight-related outcomes. There are two broad lines to my research: (1) examining the effect of early life experiences on the health and obesity of midlife and older adults; and (2) examining the effect of social status on weight-related outcomes, including obesity and dietary behaviors. The objective of my research is to improve causal inferences about the determinants of consequences of body weight and identify factors—such as perceived social status—which complement the design of weight management behavioral interventions.
