EDUCATION

Ph.D in Clinical Psychology, 2018, Stony Brook University
B.S. in Psychology, 2011, The University of Iowa

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research targets the intersection between emotion and cognition, investigating the psychological and neural mechanisms of anxiety and depression.
My team focuses on decision making, using behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, and computational tools. By examining the decision making processes, we hope to contribute to better understanding of the computational mechanisms behind healthy and abnormal emotional experiences.
