The first manuscript of my PhD thesis is currently under review. We have examined the interplay between social cognition and self-dysregulated/challenging behaviors to promote social adaptive behaviors across over 600 young people with and without neurodevelopmental conditions. We have also published a protocol in PROSPERO where we describe the design of our ongoing umbrella review aimed at improving our understanding of self-regulation cognitive processes and behaviors in people with neurodevelopmental conditions.

​

While completing my master's thesis, I worked with Dr. Ibrahim in an meta-analytic review examining the neural correlates of eye-gaze processing in people with autism and schizophrenia. 

​

During my undergraduate years and master's degree, I had the privilege of collaborating and learning from a multi-site research network meta-analytically investigating the clinical utility of screening tools and continuous performance tests for ADHD. We also reviewed the association between diabetes and autism through meta-analytic methods.
