My areas of expertise are in methodology, research design, and data analysis. I have been extensively trained in the use of path analyses, structural equation modeling (SEM), hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), and longitudinal data analyses. I routinely use these skills in my research involving the use of complex data sets to identify factors associated with temporal changes (e.g., treatment outcome), identifying neural networks and their related structural components that facilitate sleep, pain, and alcohol related information. My research goals are to develop a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying these disorders to facilitate the translation of these findings into novel treatment and prevention strategies.
