My research examines the cognitive and computational processes linking social media use and mental health. I am particularly interested in the processes that shape our perception, experience and outcomes of digital media, and whether these constitute risk or resilience factors for the relationship between digital media use and mental health. To this end, I use a combination of computational and longitudinal approaches.
