Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Student

About

I’m a clinical psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Arizona working in Dr. Zachary Cohen’s Personalized Treatment Lab. Previously, I worked in Dr. Nicholas Jacobson’s AI and Mental Health Lab and Dr. Thalia Wheatley’s Dartmouth Social Systems Lab. My research uses data science methods and intensive longitudinal data to improve how we conceptualize, measure, and predict psychopathology and treatment as idiographic and dynamic complex systems.

Research Interests:

  • Computational Psychiatry
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Precision Treatment
  • Intensive Longitudinal Data
  • Psychometrics
