I am a fifth-year clinical psychology PhD candidate working with Dr. James J. Li. My work integrates dimensional models of psychopathology, advanced statistical modeling, and state-of-the art genomic tools to redefine how we classify, predict, and assess mental health disorders across human development. My specific research interests include:
- The underlying structure of psychopathology, with a focus on externalizing behaviors/traits and neurodevelopmental features
- The development of psychopathology across the lifespan, with an emphasis on childhood and adolescence
- Etiology of externalizing behaviors/traits and neurodevelopmental features, especially gene-environment interplay
- Clinical utility of dimensions versus DSM diagnoses
