---

Cristina is the CAN lab manager. Her responsibilities include recruitment, study management, collecting participant data, data processing, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. She works on our studies examining individuals with schizophrenia and youth at clinical high-risk for psychosis.  Cristina will begin her PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Penn State University in the Fall of 2020.

  Sydney is a full-time research coordinator in the CAN lab, paid to work on an R01 grant examining negative symptom assessment in individuals at clinical high risk of psychosis. Her research responsibilities include recruitment, participant data collection, data processing, and data analysis. Her primary research interests involve examining mechanisms underlying functional outcomes in schizophrenia. She will be applying to Clinical psychology Ph.D. programs for Fall 2021. 

Kelsey is a full-time research coordinator paid to work on our study examining emotion regulation mechanisms in youth at clinical high-risk for psychosis.  Her research responsibilities include recruitment, and participant data collection of EMA, EEG, and eye tracking data. Her primary research interests involve examining mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment and brain plasticity in schizophrenia and youth at clinical high-risk for psychosis. She will be applying to Clinical psychology Ph.D. programs for Fall 2021.  

Sayli is a computer scientist who works on computational and quantitative projects in the CAN Lab. She specializes in using machine learning methods, which she is using to explore questions about symptoms and psychosis risk mechanisms

Will is a part-time research coordinator and UGA undergraduate in his senior year. He is paid to work on our NARSAD grant examining mechanisms underlying negative symptoms in the psychosis prodrome. He is also completing his senior thesis examining social cognition impairments across phases of psychosis. Will plans on applying to Clinical Psychology Ph.D. programs in the Fall of 2020.

Ivan is a 6th year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student. His research interests include understanding how motivational factors contribute to the generalized neurocognitive deficit in schizophrenia. In particular, he is exploring neurocomputational models of cognitive effort using pupillometry

Lisa is a 4th year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student. Her research interests involve emotion regulation and mechanisms underlying negative symptoms in individuals with schizophrenia and youth at clinical high-risk  for psychosis using EEG/ERPs and fMRI.

Ian is a 2nd year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student. His research interests involve examining mechanisms underlying transdiagnostic  impairments in emotion regulation and acceptance, specifically using  digital phenotyping technologies. Ian’s web link: https://imraugh.wordpress.com/
