Elizabeth A. Hubbard

User Experience Researcher
Meta, United States

I am an accomplished researcher with 12+ years of experience designing user-centered interventions for promoting health behaviors (e.g., exercise & diet), physiological function (e.g., cardiorespiratory fitness & brain health), neuromotor function (e.g., walking & balance), & psychological health (e.g., cognition, & mood). Passionate about leveraging my expertise to support the user-centered design & validation of life-enhancing technologies. I am a transformative leader, driven collaborator, & am meticulous about producing efficient, high-quality work. My career goals are to leverage strategic & innovative approaches to generate actionable insights for the advancement of users' psychophysiological performance, overall health, & quality of life.

I have an extensive background in kinesiology, with specific training and expertise in exercise testing and prescription for neurological populations, specifically persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). My research includes the physiological and functional changes associated with exercise in neurological populations. As a graduate research assistant on several National MS Society-funded grants, I developed the skills necessary to effectively measure neurological disability status, physiological measures of fitness (i.e. aerobic capacity, muscular strength, body composition, etc.) and clinically relevant functional measures for persons with neurological disability (i.e. walking endurance, walking speed, gait parameters, physical functioning, and cognition), and established the skills for developing strong ties with the local community that will make it possible to recruit participants for the proposed study. I have successfully administered the testing, training, and analysis for several exercise-related projects, collaborated with other researchers (some across departments), and produced several peer-reviewed publications from each project. I successfully developed and tested the feasibility and acceptability of an acute bout of the proposed HIIT protocol, which was published in Medicine & Science in Sport & Exercise. I received funding from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to continue that work as an intervention, which resulted in the data for this submitted abstract.
