Interests
I am interested in the dynamic interplay between parents and children, focusing particularly on early parent-child interactions and coregulation in relation to child development. My research examines how these early parent-child dynamics influence and are influenced by children’s developing self-regulation, and how these processes, in turn, shape children’s social-emotional, educational, and health outcomes. I am also interested in applying advanced statistical methods to measure variables and model developmental processes accurately across diverse populations and throughout the lifespan.
