Rebecca Weller is a Lecturer in the College of Health and Human Services at San Diego State University (SDSU), affiliated with the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program and Exercise and Nutritional Sciences department. She holds an M.S. in Exercise Physiology and Nutritional Sciences from SDSU (2018) and a B.S. in Kinesiology from Washington State University (2016). Her research focuses on thermal physiology, military health, and maternal exercise physiology, with notable contributions to heat acclimation studies and military physical readiness testing.
- Professional Experience: 5+ years as a research assistant at the Naval Health Research Center and Frederick William Kasch Laboratory
- Teaching Roles: Lab instructor for courses like Cardiopulmonary Therapeutics and Exercise Physiology
Her research interests integrate environmental stress physiology with practical applications for military populations, including cold/warm water immersion effects, cognitive performance under extreme conditions, and sweat composition analysis. She has co-authored studies on pregnancy physical activity self-efficacy and geriatric exercise benefits.
Presentations include multiple contributions to the American College of Sports Medicine meetings and international soldier performance conferences. Her work bridges laboratory research with real-world applications in military training and public health.
