Novia Wong
Volunteer Research Assistant
Show InterestsCurrently, Novia is a PhD student at University of California, Irvine, advised by Professor Madhu Reddy. Novia’s research interest focuses on using a user-centered design approach to design technological interventions for individuals with mental health needs, particularly youth and young adults. She is interested in studying mental health literacy among youth and families with different cultures, self management interventions, and care team collaboration. Prior to her PhD, Novia worked as a product designer at a healthcare technology startup and received her Master's in Information with a focus on UX Research and Design from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Benjamin Kaveladze, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Show InterestsBenji Kaveladze is interested in making mental health tools more appealing and effective for more people. He studies how the internet’s unique affordances and settings (e.g., online communities, webcam-mediated interactions, and popular content) may enable ways to support mental health that have not been feasible in traditional contexts. Benji earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine.

Lara Baez, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Show InterestsBaez completed her PhD in Adult Clinical Psychology with a Quantitative Concentration at the University of Miami, and her predoctoral psychology residency at Weill-Cornell Medicine/New York Presbyterian Hospital. Her primary interest is in developing and implementing digital interventions for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. She is also interested in leveraging ambulatory assessment tools such as geolocation tracking, actigraphy, and ecological momentary assessment to enhance our understanding of when and why perinatal symptoms emerge, and how symptoms can best be treated in real-time.

Adrian Ortega, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Show InterestsAdrian Ortega is broadly interested in developing a program of clinical research that intersects innovative technology, integrated care, evidence-based treatment, and implementation science. His research aims to improve the uptake, engagement, and impact of digital health interventions for youth and young people. His research has focused on determining moments and contexts when youth are receptive to engaging with digital interventions using sensing technologies, and leveraging these moments for real-time intervention. He is also interested in enhancing the design, refinement, and implementation of digital health interventions in clinical settings, such as integrated primary care. Dr. Ortega earned his PhD in clinical child psychology from the University of Kansas and completed his predoctoral residency in integrated pediatric primary care psychology at Nemours Children’s Health, Delaware.
