About
Biography
My research focuses on the integration of multimodal data to understand the brain-behavior mechanisms that contribute to social difficulties among individuals living with psychosis, with a specific emphasis on social cognition. Critically, my work bridges assessment of neural and clinical functioning measured in the laboratory setting to key measures of functioning and experience assessed in real-world settings.
I am particularly interested in the intersectionality of first-episode psychosis and emerging adulthood – the developmental phase from the late teenage years though the 20s – and how a developmental lens may elucidate the unique needs and strengths of youth experiencing the onset of a serious mental illness. I also have interests in the use of mixed-methods approaches (i.e., computational linguistics, qualitative coding) to assess natural language and life-story narratives of individuals living with or at-risk for a psychotic-spectrum illness.
