My name is Greg Petrucci, and I am a researcher passionate about innovating human health with wearable technology. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Massachusetts in the Department of Kinesiology working under the supervision of John R. Sirard, PhD. My research interests lie in using accelerometers to estimate aspects of physical behaviors (e.g., physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep).

Why Sponsor Me?

• Sponsorship is an investment in open-source science.
• My goal is to make accelerometer data processing methods (i.e., existing and new, simple cut-points and complex machine learning techniques) easily accessible for scientists conducting intervention and cohort studies.
• Your sponsorship will allow me to dedicate my time to this open-source, user-friendly project.
• Additionally, your sponsorship will contribute to hosting, domain names, and other expenses required to maintain and develop this open-source goal.
• In return, I am committed to providing high-quality, well-documented code, timely issue resolution, and regular updates to my sponsors. Let's work together to make the open-source community more robust and sustainable.

Other Reasons For Sponsorship

• I also offer assistance with processing previously collected accelerometer data, for which there are no easily accessible methods (i.e., the method has been developed, and reproducible instructions exist in text) that can be applied to estimate aspects of physical behavior. See the Accelerometer Repository for an example of methods that apply.
• Please email me for more details on this type of support at gp@gregpetrucci.com.

What Makes Me Qualified For This Work?

Research

• I've worked extensively on projects aimed at calibration and validation of accelerometer data processing methods (see MOCA for more details).
