Jessica Duda is a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology. Her research investigates cognitive mechanisms of depression and anxiety, integrating self-report, behavioral tasks, computational modeling, and neuroimaging. She is particularly interested in how people perceive and cope with uncertain conditions across development, and the role of these processes in internalizing pathology. As an ISPS fellow, she is examining how uncertainty around the current legislative climate contributes to anxiety and depression in LGBTQ+ youth.
