Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina primarily working in the fields of nicotine addiction and implementation science. My graduate research predominately explored processes of change, or mediators, of ACT linking to both behavioral theories of language, and modern evolution science. The thrust of this work has been to improve treatment development and better study the functionally important mechanisms of change. More recent research includes: creating idiographic network models of functionally important treatment mechanisms in ACT, inpatient tobacco cessation treatment, the relationship mental health diagnosis and tobacco cessation effectiveness, as well as a Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco Treatment Network sponsored project evaluating the need for biochemical verification within tobacco cessation randomized trials.
