Amy Lu

I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Molecular Biology from University of California, San Diego and later received my M.S. in Counseling from San Diego State University. Previously, I have worked as a mental health therapist before transitioning into psychological research to better combine my clinical experience with my quantitative background. Currently, I am the Multisite Coordinator for our study Momentum, which combines multiple methods (behavioral, physiological, neuroimaging) to explore the mechanisms behind mood dynamics and affective instability. Broadly, my research interests lie in investigating the maladaptive social decision making seen in Borderline Personality Disorder.
