Area of Interest
I am an expert in psychometrics, psychological assessment, anxiety disorders, cognitive behavioral therapy, and novel statistical approaches (including novel forms of structural equation modeling and multilevel modeling) in health psychology contexts. I have conducted intensive longitudinal analyses of data from funded projects in cancer prevention and bothersome tinnitus, and I expect to continue work with longitudinal data in the context of cancer prevention and control.
