Research Scientist in Psychiatry
Biography
My research focuses on factors that promote the initiation, maintenance, and cessation of commonly used substances (e.g., nicotine, alcohol, cannabis) across the lifespan; developing psychometrically-sound measures to improve the quality of substance-related research; and survey-based research methodology. I have expertise in adolescent and adult ENDS use, nicotine dependence, smoking cessation, building complex online surveys, and using online sampling methods.
