Professional Interests

My broad area of interest is the application of human behavioral pharmacology and behavior analysis to the scientific investigation of drug reinforcement, drug dependence, and the characterization of novel psychoactive drugs. I am also interested in the use of behavioral economics and delay discounting to understand decision making in drug dependence.
