Associate Professor

At Otterbein University, Dr. Sheridan teaches courses in human and animal anatomy & physiology. He is a broadly-trained physiologist with particular interests in sensory systems neuroscience and integrative physiology. His current research focuses on 1) reaction times to different stimulus modalities and 2) changes in physiological parameters before, during, and recovering from exercise.
