Research Areas

Morgan Jusko is a doctoral student in the Clinical Science program at Florida International University (FIU), under the mentorship of Dr. Fabiano. Her primary research interests are two-fold: first, to understand how basic cognitive processes translate to real world outcomes (e.g., driving behaviors) for youth with ADHD; and second, to integrate advanced data analytic methods (e.g., time series analysis) to improve our understanding of how treatments work (and for whom).
