BIO
As a behavioral scientist and licensed clinical psychologist, my research broadly falls within tobacco regulatory science and tobacco control. I primarily focus on dual use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes, nicotine reduction, and interventions for people who are not ready to quit smoking. My research uses a range of methodologies, including randomized clinical trials, controlled laboratory studies, meta-analysis, and fine-grained naturalistic research. I have experience conducting both fully-remote and in-person trials. In addition to my work on nicotine, I have a growing line of research examining the treatment of opioid use disorder among people who are incarcerated, which reflects my clinical work in correctional settings. As the Associate Director of the Vermont Center on Behavior and Health (VCBH), I lead a pilot project program which supports fellows and junior faculty in conducting research to seed future NIH grants. In addition, I serve as the Co-Director of Education and Outreach for the ¶¶Òõ̽̽ Center on Rural Addiction. I am the primary mentor for one Clinical Psychology pre-doctoral fellow, I serve on multiple Master’s thesis and Doctoral dissertation committees, and I work regularly with pre- and post-doctoral trainees within our center.
