She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee in 2012.
Research interests include hormonal contraceptive effects, ovulatory shifts, sexual selection, life history strategies, body image, and marital dynamics. The ACR Lab explores topics such as sexual afterglow duration, partner-specific desire, and pandemic-related marital communication. Dr. Meltzer is currently recruiting a graduate student for Fall 2025.
