Senior🎓
Top SchoolNelson Roque is an Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State, bringing over a decade of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of cognitive aging, environment, and digital health. His work uses ecological momentary assessment, mobile cognitive testing, and multimodal sensing to reveal how age, lifetime pollutant exposure, and digital screen time influence cognition in daily life. A distinctive focus is air quality monitoring as a primary contextual exposure, complemented by GPS lifespace assessment and naturalistic driving data to map within-person cognitive dynamics across settings. Roque also develops open-source tools—R packages, Python libraries, APIs, and web apps—to advance reproducible science and scalable data-driven insights. With a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from Florida State University, his research bridges cognitive psychology, human development, and public health to inform healthy aging, digital resilience, and reducing everyday functional risks such as medication errors.
