My research spans the fields of psychology, epidemiology, and genetics. My current work is concerned with three
broad questions: 1) How do genetic differences between people shape the way they respond to their
environments? (2) How do childhood experiences shape the course of health inequalities across the life span?
(3) What are the best ways to assess and measure personality differences between people?
