Diyang Qu, Ph.D.

Co-Principal Investigator

Post-Doctoral Fellow
Shuimu Tsinghua Scholar

My research interests involve exploring the multifaceted protective and promoting factors across various systems within at-risk populations. Specifically, I focus on individuals who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) or experience mental health challenges. Additionally, I am dedicated to the development of impactful interventions that facilitate positive adaptation among these individuals. These interventions encompass a range of modalities, including face-to-face interactions, digital platforms, and just-in-time interventions.

Zhijun Wu, Ph.D.

Post-doc Fellow

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.

Mei Yu, Ph.D.

Post-Doctoral Fellow

My research interests revolve around the domains of delay discounting, cognitive control, reward, and development. Specifically, I am intrigued by studying how individuals make decisions involving delayed rewards and examining the underlying cognitive processes involved. Additionally, I am interested in exploring how reward processing and cognitive control mechanisms develop across the lifespan. Through my research, I aim to gain insights into the factors that influence decision-making, enhance our understanding of cognitive development, and contribute to the development of interventions promoting optimal decision-making and cognitive functioning.

Post-Doctoral Fellow

My research interests encompass adolescent mental health, with a specific focus on understanding the transition and protective factors associated with self-harm and suicide. I am dedicated to investigating the complex interplay between individual characteristics, environmental factors, and social networks in shaping adolescent well-being. By examining peer social networks, I aim to uncover the influential role they play in mental health outcomes and explore potential interventions that promote positive peer relationships and resilience among adolescents.

Huagen Wang, Ph.D.

Post-Doctoral Fellow

My research interests focus on investigating the risk factors associated with high-risk populations, including psychiatric patients exhibiting non-suicidal self-injury behaviors and adolescents with mood disorders. Additionally, I am intrigued by exploring the intricate relationship between pain and non-suicidal self-injury behaviors, while delving into the underlying neural mechanisms. Through my research, I aim to contribute to the understanding of these complex phenomena and potentially develop interventions that can effectively support individuals in these populations.
