This role involves working on studies focused on predicting and intervening on suicidal thoughts and behaviors in daily life and during high-risk time periods.

Research in this group is currently funded by numerous NIH and other grants, and primarily centers on suicide prevention, post-hospital transitions, technology-assisted assessment and intervention, mood and psychotic disorders, and comorbid conditions (substance use disorders and physical health problems) conducted in a variety of clinical settings.
