Biography
My research takes a biopsychosocial and multicultural approach to understanding children’s socioemotional development in context. Specifically, I examine how familial and sociocultural environments shape developmental outcomes, including children’s emotion regulation, internalizing/externalizing problems, and social understanding, through both behavioral and biological pathways, particularly epigenetics. Additionally, my research addresses complex measurement and methodological challenges in psychological, cross-cultural, and biosocial studies.
Details about my lab – BioPsychological Development in Context (PsyDeC) will be coming soon!
