Resources & Recommendations

Welcome to my collection of resources that have shaped how I think about and approach research in digital health, addiction science, and clinical psychopathology in general. Whether you're a colleague, student, or fellow researcher, I hope you'll discover something useful here to support your work. These aren't meant to be definitive or comprehensive. Just books, papers, and tools I've found helpful and that have influenced my thinking along the way.
