Curriculum Vitae
Chad M. Killian, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of New Hampshire and a Fellow at the Center for Digital Health Innovation. His research explores digital learning in physical education, technology-supported whole-school physical activity promotion, and equity in K-12 student access to movement opportunities. His work has been supported by the UNHInnovation Fund.
 
Dr. Killian’s scholarship has been widely published in peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, Journal of School Health, Journal of Physical Activity and Health, and Systematic Reviews. He is a co-author of the book Flipped Learning in Physical Education: Opportunities and Applications (Routledge, 2023) and co-investigator on the U.S. Physical Education and Physical Activity Policy Implementation Project and open-access data repository (https://uspepap.wygisc.org). He has received international recognition through fellowships with SHAPE America, the Arnold School of Public Health Physical Activity and Public Health Postgraduate Program and by serving on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
 
Dr. Killian is actively engaged in international and interdisciplinary research collaborations, national policy surveillance efforts, and digital curriculum development. Through these initiatives, he works to improve child and adolescent physical activity outcomes and the quality of physical activity programming across diverse physical and virtual educational settings.
