I am an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Temple University in Philadelphia. I run an inpatient psychiatric service in Episcopal Hospital where I teach medical students and psychiatry residents. I am interested in integrating Psychology with Psychiatry as well as the Catholic-Christian worldview with the empirical sciences. My recently started research career began with a focus on basic science research in Positive Psychology. My Master's Thesis was entitled "The Specific Role of Accountability in Human Flourishing." I want to continue my research in basic science and expand it to applied research in the same area as well as to clinical research in Psychiatry and Psychology.
