Side Interests

Dr. Moreno enjoys reading many academic-focused books not directly tied to particular research themes. In addition to just academic goals, Dr. Moreno enjoys learning about human social interaction, and how this knowledge can be harnessed to create a more positive, unified environment in academia that works for everyone.

Dr. Moreno is always finding a new reading after the workday to keep his mind stimulated, so definitely keep coming back to see what's new! Bold/italic readings denote those in-progress.

Hobbies

Figured I'd include this here, to share what I've been up to in my recreational/social time. Right now, my hobbies include outdoor running, video games, movies, sports games, traveling, trying new foods, and (believe it or not) acting. Feel free to scroll below for some places I've gone to and things I've done over the past few years. Always open to makingnew connections and having interesting intellectual conversations!
