Supervisory team: Dr. Jessica D. Ribeiro.
Position: PhD student.
Current research: I am interested in elucidating the causal mechanisms underlying suicidal behaviors. My research leverages experimental techniques to test causal hypotheses about suicide.
Research interests:
- Causal processes underlying suicidal behaviors
- How biological deprivation states (e.g., sleep deprivation, hunger) may contribute to suicidality
- Constructionist approach to understanding suicide (e.g., how our conceptualization of suicide influences our likelihood of having suicidal thoughts and/or engaging in suicidal behaviors)
