Jennifer Ellis is an Assistant Professor and a licensed clinical psychologist. Her research interests include identifying strategies to optimize substance use treatment for individuals who enter treatment with psychiatric comorbidities, including major depressive disorder, sleep disorders, and multiple co-occurring substance use disorders. Her work leverages observational longitudinal and ecological momentary assessment data to test whether patients can be classified into clinically meaningful subgroups based on patterns of co-occurring symptoms and symptom trajectories, and whether these subgroups differ with regard to risk factors and treatment outcomes. She is also interested in improving OUD treatment for underserved and marginalized groups.
