Alysia is our lab manager. She also coordinates the GAINS and CAPR R01 clinical high-risk studies and the R61 cognitive training fMRI grant.  She is originally from Hawaii. Her primary research interests are in emotion processing and cognition in schizophrenia and psychosis risk syndromes.

Ashley is a full-time research coordinator paid to work on the GAINS R01 clinical high-risk study. She is originally from California and graduated from Florida A&M  University with a master’s degree in Community Psychology. Her research  interests involve cultural and environmental influences on psychosis. 

Delaney is a full-time research coordinator paid to work on the ProNET grant evaluating  biomarkers and clinical factors associated with psychosis risk. She is originally from Wisconsin. Her research interests  involve the initial onset of psychotic symptoms and functional outcomes  of individuals with schizophrenia.

Gifty is a full-time research coordinator paid to work on the CAPR  grant. She is originally from Georgia and graduated from UGA  with a B.S. in Psychology. Her primary research interests involve  culture, racism, and psychological health outcomes.

Sierra is a full-time research coordinator paid to work on the ProNET  grant evaluating biomarkers and clinical factors associated with psychosis risk. She is originally from Utah. Her research interests involve the etiology of negative symptoms in schizophrenia.

Lauren is a full-time research coordinator working on our fMRI studies examining mechanisms of negative symptoms in schizophrenia. She is originally from Georgia. Her interests involve using neuroscience methods (EEG, fMRI) to examine cognitive and emotional processes involved with the etiology of schizophrenia.

Lisa is a 6th year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student. She is originally from Arizona. 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. She is funded by an F31 grant from NIMH to explore the neural basis of avolition/anhedonia as a reduction in the positivity offset in schizophrenia

Ian is a 4th year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student. He is originally from Maryland. His research interests involve examining mechanisms underlying transdiagnostic  impairments in emotion regulation and acceptance, specifically using  digital phenotyping technologies.

Luyu is a 2nd year graduate student in Clinical Psychology. He is originally from China. His research interests involve the etiology of schizophrenia. He is focusing on a bioecosystem model of negative symptoms and interactions between environmental and neural factors using multiple methods, such as fMRI, digital phenotyping, environmental coding, and social network analysis.

Sydney is a 2nd year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student. She is originally from North Carolina. Her research interests involve identifying mechanisms underlying negative symptoms. She is focusing on a bioecosystem model of negative symptoms which evaluates cultural components of the broader macrosystem using a multi-method approach that consists of digital phenotyping, network analysis, and cultural scales.

Anna is a 1st year graduate student in Clinical Psychology. She is originally from Texas. Her research interests involve identifying mechanisms and treatments for anhedonia in schizophrenia using neuroscience methods. She is exploring a model of emotional memory impairment using fMRI.

Katiah completed her PhD in 2013. Her dissertation examined emotional maintenance in schizophrenia using ERPs. She is currently in private practice in San Francisco.

Sara completed her PhD in 2016. Her dissertation focused on the effects of emotion regulation on subsequent cognitive control in schizophrenia using ERPs. She is currently a staff psychologist at the Bedford VA in MA.

Lindsay completed her PhD in 2016. Her dissertation examined the association between metabolic dysfunction and cognition in schizophrenia. She is currently a staff psychologist in the psychiatry department at Johns Hopkins.

Kayla completed her PhD in 2017. Her dissertation examined the role of emotional memory impairment in anhedonia in schizophrenia using eye tracking. She  is currently a staff psychologist at NYU and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Hofstra University.

Katie completed her Ph.D. in 2020. Her dissertation examined mechanisms of emotion regulation in youth at clinical high-risk for psychosis using EMA. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University.

Ivan completed his PhD in 2022. His dissertation examined whether effort fails to become a secondary reinforcer in schizophrenia. He is currently a postdoc at UCLA.

Michael was a postdoctoral fellow in the CAN lab from 2021-2022. He worked on fMRI projects on the R61 cognitive training grant and the CAPR clinical high-risk for psychosis study. He is currently working as a data scientist in private industry.
