RESEARCH
In general, my research focuses on externalizing psychopathology, personality disorders (in particular, Borderline Personality Disorder, BPD), addiction, and their comorbidity throughout development. I also study nosology and quantitative methods. I am especially interested in how problems with inhibitory control (a.k.a. “impulsivity”) underlie the development of these phenomena, and how these vulnerabilities interact with environmental stressors.
