Research Description
My current research focuses on understanding the liability structure of psychiatric and behavioral disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and other related phenotypes. I am currently exploring the feasibility of data sources to apply genetic relatedness matrices and structural equation modeling techniques to partition genetic and environmental influences. The long-term goal is to identify shared liabilities across domains while validating computational and statistical methods.
