Overview

I am a behavioral scientist with a PhD in experimental psychology. I am an assistant professor (Research) within the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University. My research interests include addictive and risk behaviors, such as HIV and STI risks. I am also interested in the young adult driving behaviors. I have been involved in the analyses of several large data sets, with an emphasis on the analysis of mechanisms of change models.
