I am a fifth-year clinical psychology PhD candidate working with Dr. James Li. My research interests include:
- The structure of psychopathology, with a focus on externalizing behaviors and traits (e.g., antisocial behavior, substance use, impulsivity) as defined in the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) framework.
- How externalizing develops across the lifespan, with an emphasis on childhood and adolescence.
- Interplay between genes and environment on developmental trajectories of externalizing.
Clinically, I am interested in psychological and forensic assessments and improving behavioral health outcomes for youth in the juvenile legal system.
