Biography  I have got my PhD in Social Psychology at Northeastern University. I also have MS degree in Biomedical Informatics from MIT-Harvard, Health Science and Technology Division . If you would like to see my CV click here.
Research interests  My background is social psychology, specifically social cognition. I am interested in health communication and investigating various factors (including individual tailoring) that influence motivation, unhealthy self-destructive and addictive behaviors. In general, in my research work my goal is to apply psychological theories to investigate factors that lead to individuals addictive behaviors or may promote behavioral changes. I am designing and programming online experiments to investigate effective ways to exploit computer technologies for health behavioral interventions.
Teaching
Other interests  I am interested in computer science,specifically, Object Oriented Programming Java and PHP languages, programming web-based experiments and using computers for tele-medicine and facilitation of doctor-patient interactions. One of the current projects is developing an online consultation facility for pediatric nephrology patients in Russia.
