My research focuses on understanding the etiological factors involved with the development of substance use and substance use disorders from late childhood through adulthood using advanced statistics and data analytic techniques. I attempt to integrate multi-disciplinary theoretical perspectives (developmental psychopathology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral) and advanced methodology (structural equation modeling, propensity score modeling, and machine learning) to provide rigorous tests of current theories of substance use disorder.
