Research area: 

​

I am a researcher with a keen interest in adolescent mental health, particularly in understanding the mechanisms underlying non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide. My work also focuses on identifying the protective and risk factors associated with NSSI. I am particularly drawn to large-scale longitudinal studies as they offer valuable insights into the long-term trajectories of mental health outcomes. My research aims to contribute to the development of effective interventions and policies to support adolescents' mental well-being.
