Sean P. Lane

M.A. (Quantitative Methods), Columbia University, 2008
B.S. (Mathematics; Additional Major: Psychology), Carnegie Mellon University, 2005
Graduate Student Recruitment:
I will be accepting graduate students for the 2021-2022 academic year into both the Clinical Psychology and MCP graduate training areas.
My substantive research focuses on emotion regulation processes, their downstream effects on health and relationship outcomes, and how these processes differ between healthy and clinical subgroups. I apply and develop statistical methodologies, with a focus on nonlinear models and dynamic systems in characterizing these processes. I have also applied these methods in more substantive research, including the optimization of alcohol use disorder classification and the role of alcohol use as an antecedent, consequent, and modifier of emotion regulation processes.
My recent quantitative work (R01AA027264) involves developing methods for conducting power analyses for complex statistical models, including providing recommendations for starting parameters and feasible ranges under uncertainty. These methods are actively being built into an intuitive user interface guided by principles from user-centered design.
