Eugenia Giampetruzzi

I’m a PhD student in Affective Science in the Department of Psychology at Stanford, advised by Ian H. Gotlib in the Stanford Neurodevelopment, Affect, and Psychopathology (SNAP) Lab. I’m also pursuing a minor in Biomedical Data Science in the School of Medicine, and my work is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

My research uses naturalistic data (medical records, wearable devices, experience sampling) and neuroimaging to study the development of psychiatric (mainly depression) and cardiovascular disorders across adolescence. Before Stanford, I was an Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health, working with Daniel Pine. Prior to the NIH, I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude as a Robert W. Woodruff Scholar at Emory University, where I participated in competitive policy debate and worked in the Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) Program and Child and Adolescent Mood Program (CAMP).
