Christopher Waller is a fourth-year graduate student in the Clinical Psychology Training Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Following his graduation from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Psychology in 2012, Chris gained years of experience working with children and families in both residential treatment and case management settings. In 2019, Chris earned his M.A. in Clinical Psychology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where his thesis research focused on the influence of sleep on recovery following traumatic brain injury (TBI) under the guidance of Dr. Laura Pawlow. Chris received training at Saint Louis University's Neuropsychology Services as a part of a year-long externship. Subsequently, he contributed to a longitudinal research study on Parkinson's Disease at Washington University in St. Louis. Since joining the CNN lab, Chris’ research interests have expanded to more broadly include neuroinflammatory risk factors and their impact on TBI recovery. In his free time, he enjoys playing bass, gaming, camping, reading, and traveling with his family.
