I will be reviewing applications for a graduate student for Fall 2025
My research interests are in the areas of the phenomenology of mental disorders, especially mood/anxiety, substance use (mainly alcohol and cannabis), psychometrics and clinical assessment, affective instability, emotional dysregulation, and ambulatory assessment methods. Almost all of my research at this point involves Ambulatory Assessment.
