TIAGO BARREIRA
Over the course of his career, Dr. Barreira has developed into a researcher with expertise in measurement and evaluation. He has worked both with objective measurement of human physical behaviors (i.e., physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and sleep), more specifically in the use of pedometers and accelerometers. He began his training in physical activity measurement and research started with Dr. Minsoo Kang, who is a measurement and evaluation expert, during his Ph.D. at Middle Tennessee State University. During his Ph.D. program, he had the opportunity to develop statistical skills in the classroom, going above and beyond the requirements. His training continued under the supervision of Dr. Peter Katzmarzyk and Dr. Tudor Locke at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. During his years as a postdoc, he had the opportunity to help develop the methods and conduct data quality control of The International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE). Currently, at Syracuse University Dr. Barreira is the director of the Kinesmetrics Laboratory and the principal investigator in several studies related to reliability and validity of physical behavior and body composition measurement tools. He is part of numerous collaborative projects with faculty at SU and other institutions around the world. He also serves as the biostatistician in NIH and non-profit funded projects.
