Draft:Peter Hall

Peter A. Hall is a Canadian professor who is known for his research involving translational neuroscience for the public health context.

Biography

Peter A. Hall is a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo, where he is the director of the Prevention Neuroscience Laboratory . He studies translational neuroscience as applied to obesity, diabetes, and post-COVID-19 condition. He became an elected Fellow of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research in 2017 and is past recipient of national merit awards from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and the Canadian Psychological Association. He is a member of the PsychoNeuroImmunology Research Society , the Flux Society and the Canadian Psychological Association.

Dr. Hall also has led the development of a patented next-generation cognitive assessment system involving interleaved rTMS and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Education and Training

Following an undergraduate degree at Dalhousie University he completed a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Waterloo in 2002. Dr. Hall subsequently completed advanced training fellowships in transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at Duke University and Harvard Medical School.
