mc schraefel, PN Advisor

dr. schraefel holds an interdisciplinary PhD and carries out research in Human Factors at the University of Southampton, UK, where she is a Reader in the Intelligence, Agents and Multimedia Group and Senior Research Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and Fellow of the Web Science Foundation.

Her main research is increasingly around how to incorporate what we know about being physical creatures with better work place information environment design to support and enhance creativity, design and innovation.

She’s also pretty passionate about exploring whether and how information technologies can help bridge health challenges.  For instance, how new kinds of just-in-time, context-aware information on mobile or pervasive devices can help us adapt what we might do already with food and make it a bit healthier, one change at a time  (more on this research here).

dr. schraefel also coaches athletes, and holds the following health-related certifications:

• NSCA CSCS
• Z-Health Master Trainer
• Precision Nutrition Level 1
• RKC II
• IKFF CKT Kettlebell
• Functional Movement Specialist with CK-FMS Kettlebell specialization

Her practice is a mix of teaching workshops on the above, working one on one with athletes, and increasingly, doing assessments and working with athletes internationally over the net via web cam.
