Research summary

William C. Walker's research focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly mild TBI sustained by military service members and combat veterans, and its long-term effects on cognition, mental health (including PTSD), sleep, and everyday functioning like driving. Much of this work draws on large longitudinal veteran cohort studies (e.g., LIMBIC-CENC) that track health outcomes over years following deployment-related brain injuries. Prospective students would likely engage with clinical and epidemiological research combining neuroimaging, biomarkers, and survey-based data on military and veteran populations.
