- 🔥🧠Excited to announce that I am recruiting PhD students this fall. Our lab uses neuroimaging (MRI) and computational modeling to study the mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders, bridging genetic factor, brain circuitry, early life stress, and psychopathology. Please feel free to DM me.
- If you are interested in this position, please DM me or submit at uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/194...
- 🔥🔥My new lab has a new Postdoc position, exploring how genetic factors and environmental factors (e.g., early life stress) influence brain development, child psychopathology, and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism) based on neuroimaging. Please check uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/194...
- 🔥🔥Thrilled to share that our recent paper in American Journal of Psychiatry on a CNV framework for understanding child psychopathology has been highlighted in a commentary by Drs. Boen Rune and Bearden Carrie E.. Grateful for this thoughtful engagement! psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/...
- 💥🧠🧬Finally out!! Our new paper on the overlapping genetic basis of brain structures and psychiatric disorders has been published in Nature Mental Health. The full list of shared genetic loci is also available online. Thank you so much, Aaron and all co-authors. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

- Finally out!!! Our new study described the CNV landscape of the ABCD study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. We identified its associations with dimensions of chid psychopathology and cognitive development. Thanks, Aaron, Joe and all co-authors. psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/...
- Higher CNV risk scores were significantly correlated with greater attention problems and cognitive impairment across multiple domains (fluid intelligence, attention, working memory, flexible thinking, and processing speed).
- 👇👇🧠🧬My new lab is hiring an imaging-genetics Postdoc, exploring how genetic factors (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics) and environmental factors (e.g., early life stress) influence brain development, psychopathology, and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism). I am happy to take any questions.
- I’m excited to share that I will be joining the Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Fall 2025. I really appreciate the invaluable support and guidance from my mentors, including Aaron, Cldye, Simon, Ruben, and Mary.
