Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Megan Jones's research focuses on cognitive function, particularly in relation to aging and conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. She has investigated the effects of various dietary supplements, including red spinach extract and inositol-stabilized arginine silicate, on cognitive outcomes in healthy adults and those at risk for Alzheimer's. Jones has also explored the impact of digital health interventions and coaching protocols on cognition in adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Her work includes the development and validation of novel digital tests, such as a digit-symbol substitution test to measure processing speed. Jones's research also extends to physical performance, examining the influence of dietary nitrate supplementation on athletes and the effects of red spinach extract on bench press performance and muscle oxygenation. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9, with 75 total publications and 249 citations. She has been a co-Principal Investigator on a $2,000,000 NSF grant focused on datacenter optimization through whole-stack novel accounting and design.
