Dr. Hayes graduated from Skidmore College (Biology, Psychology) and completed his doctoral work in Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology) at the University of Arizona. He completed an NRSA-funded cognitive neuroscience-clinical neuropsychology postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University and the Bryan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Duke University Medical Center.  As a Department of Veterans Affairs Career Development Awardee, Dr. Hayes worked at the Boston University Memory Disorders Research Center and served as the Associate Director for the Neuroimaging Research for Veterans Center at VA Boston Healthcare System. At Ohio State, Dr. Hayes serves as the Director of The Buckeye Brain Aging Lab (B-BAL) and receives support from The Ohio State University Chronic Brain Injury Discovery Theme. Dr. Hayes works closely with  the OSU Center for Brain Health and Performance and the OSU Jameson Crane Center for Sports Medicine Institute. Using structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Dr. Hayes’ research examines 1) the relationships between physical activity, fitness, cognition and the brain,  2) the neural correlates of cognition, with an emphasis in memory, and 3) applies advanced MRI techniques to clinical populations with memory impairments (mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, medial temporal lobe amnesia).
