Aaron Rosenbaum, Ph.D., Research Director

Aaron's responsibilities at SSRS include project management, survey design and analysis, weighting and sampling, and data analysis and reporting. Before joining the SSRS team, he spent three years working as a lecturer and researcher in the psychology department at Penn State. Aaron has designed, validated, and published a questionnaire to examine knowledge and attitudes about sports concussion, and he has administered the measure to high school and college athletes. Aaron is hopeful that his findings will ultimately be used to enhance young athletes' ability to recognize and willingness to report concussions. His work has been published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology and in Foundations of Sports Related Brain Injuries. He also spent four years as the project director of the Penn State Concussion Program, which involved the assessment of athletes with concussions to inform decisions about returning them to competition. Aaron graduated magna cum laude from Plattsburgh State University of New York, and he attained his M.S. and Ph.D. from Penn State. Aaron is a frequent patron of local coffee houses and is an avid fan of the New York Mets. He also enjoys cooking and exercising-in that order.
