About
Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University. I use experimental (i.e., laboratory and ambulatory tasks), psychophysiological (i.e., EEG/ERP), and intensive longitudinal assessment (i.e., ecological momentary assessment, actigraphy, digital phenotyping) methods to characterize risk processes underlying suicide and violence. I am particularly interested in identifying short-term risk markers of these high-impact behaviors that may be viable targets for intervention and prevention strategies, with an emphasis on sleep as a modifiable contributing factor.
