Graduate Students

Sami Sorid is a third year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program. She graduated from The College of William & Mary in 2022 with a B.S. in Psychological Sciences, and a minor in Management & Organizational Leadership. Sami is interested in using routine outcome monitoring and feedback-informed care to improve therapeutic outcomes. She is also doing a practicum at the Child & Adolescent Anxiety Disorders Clinic (CAADC), and has a special interest in child anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In her free time, Sami can be found spending time with her tuxedo cat, drawing, or going to spin classes.

Hannah Roberts is a fourth year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program. Hannah graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2019 with a B.A. in Psychology. After graduating, she worked as a research assistant at the University of Michigan studying the effects of peer influence and risk-taking behavior on the development of adolescent neural reward circuitry. Hannah is broadly interested in the ways adolescent reward processes and mood interact to influence risky behavior. When she is not in the lab, Hannah can be found wandering around the city, baking, or spending time with her two cats, Franklin and Tammy. 

Matt Mattoni is a fifth-year doctoral student in the clinical psychology program with a concentration in quantitative methods. Matt graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2019 with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Psychology and a minor in Chemistry. Funded by an NRSA F31, his research involves identifying individualized associations between reward functioning, brain network functioning, and dimensional psychopathology. He combines person-centered subgrouping approaches, idiographic (person-specific) approaches, and hierarchical psychopathology modeling to identify correlates of psychopathology that are precise to individuals, rather than heterogenous groups. He ultimately aims to translate this precision clinical neuroscience approach to improve treatment prediction for mood and anxiety disorders. His CV as of Sept. 2024 can be found here. Outside of the lab and clinic, Matt can be found watching or playing basketball (Go Heels), exercising, or exploring the Philadelphia food scene.

Lindsey Stewart is a fifth-year doctoral student in the clinical psychology program. Lindsey graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2018 with a B.S. in Psychology and a concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience. After graduating, she worked as a research assistant in the Computational Neuroimaging and Connected Technologies Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Lindsey is broadly interested in identifying risk factors for the development of internalizing disorders and factors that contribute to perseverative cognition. In her free time, Lindsey enjoys cooking, listening to music, and spending time with her dog, Gracie.
