Professional Interests
I am interested in the human behavioral pharmacology of abused drugs, particularly marijuana and nicotine. My research focuses on the consequences of stopping heavy cannabis or tobacco use and the investigation of medications that can aide quit attempts. I also have interest in investigating novel ways to apply behavioral modification techniques to the treatment of drug abuse problems.
