Edward Huntley

Undergraduate & Other Degrees
American University, Washington, DC
M.A., in Psychology, May 2006

Canisius College, Buffalo, NY
B.S., in Biology and Psychology, May 1998

Basic Interests: Anxiety and mood disorders, behavioral sleep medicine, caffeine epidemiology and expectancies and health psychology.

Ed Huntley is a pre-doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program. Prior to coming to American University, he earned a B.S. in Biology and Psychology from Canisius College, Buffalo, N.Y. and worked at The University of Buffalo and Saint Louis University Medical Schools and The Pediatric Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at Children's National Medical Center in Washington (CNMC), D.C. His primary research at American University is on caffeine expectancies and epidemiology. In collaboration with Daniel Lewin, Ph.D. the Director of the Pediatric Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at CNMC, he is presently coordinating two NIH sponsored projects, the first (5K01MH001958-06) investigates the psychological sequelae of disturbed sleep in children with and without obstructive sleep apnea and the second (5R01HL079555-03) aims to characterize sleep and fatigue in HIV-infected children.

His current research project examines the feasibility and efficacy of a cognitive behavioral intervention for insomnia in children and adolescents. Ed has completed an apprenticeship in Sleep and Circadian Rhythms at Brown University (Supervisor: Mary Carskadon, Ph.D.) and externships in the Pediatric Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at CNMC (Supervisor: Dr. Daniel Lewin, Ph.D., D.ABSM), Child and Adolescent Anxiety Program at CNMC (Supervisor: Dr. Candice Alfano) and Counseling and Psychiatric Service Georgetown University (Supervisors: Susan Gordon, Ph.D., Becky Bailey, Ph.D. and Mathew Knauer, Psy.D.)
