which photic and non-photic stimuli (e.g.,
exogenous melatonin) can be used as
countermeasures to improve sleep,
wakefulness and performance, as well as
how they can be integrated to influence
sleep and entrain circadian rhythms. Dr.
Burke also studies educational methods
including an ongoing project examining
the utilization of active learning teaching
methodology in college science courses.
