My interests are in Tibetan history and literature; Buddhism; religion, kingship, and state.

My research examines how cognitive and academic skills develop from early childhood through college, focusing on individual differences and the environmental and genetic factors that contribute to them. I use geo-coding and geo-technological methods, along with quantitative genetic analyses and developmental modeling, to investigate how geographic and environmental contexts shape the development of these skills over time.

My research investigates how neural circuits support flexible behavior through generalization which is a process of using past experiences to make inferences about new objects or situations.

My interests are in risk and resilience in Black college students and Black emerging adults; substance use and misuse; substance use disorders; ecological momentary assessment; and digital health; intervention research.

My research interests sit in the intersection of local public finances, comparative urban governance, and the politics of urban service and infrastructure provision.

My interests are in improving fundamental hydrogel design and addressing diseases associated with bone marrow.

My research examines how stigma and psychosocial factors influence relationship experiences and health outcomes, especially among marginalized youth.

I use mixed methods to study: (i) how political dynamics shape education policy processes and outcomes, and (ii) how we might design policies to address pressing local, state, and national education issues. My current work focuses on the politics of school desegregation efforts, the implementation of state education policy, and factors shaping teacher recruitment and retention.

I study the genetics of stuttering and other related conditions using electronic health records and large-scale biobanks.
