Matt is a first year Clinical-Developmental Psychology PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh. He graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Neuroscience and a B.A. in Psychology. He then worked as a clinical research coordinator on the Psychosis Risk Outcomes Network (ProNET) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and he was involved in computational analyses of speech differences in individuals with psychosis and at clinical high risk, as well as neuroimaging analyses. At the FEND Lab, Matt is applying computational phenotyping approaches to the identification of behavioral and neural risk profiles for suicidality in adolescents and young adults, with a focus on markers of sensitivity to social evaluative threat, such as experiences of social rejection and thwarted belongingness.
