Adon Rosen

Hello! I’m Adon Rosen, a psychometrician and quantitative psychologist. My research agenda is primarily focused on the intersection of psychopathology assessment and measurement with intensive longitudinal modeling. This includes a broad interest in understanding dynamic psychological processes over time. My applied interests further extend to exploring brain-behavior relationships, developing sophisticated methods for measuring adversity and neglect, and analyzing dyadic interactions.

Presently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Vanderbilt University, where I conduct research under the mentorship of Ashley Watts. My work centers on developing and optimizing measurement models for the assessment of psychopathology, aiming to enhance the accuracy and utility of diagnostic and evaluative tools.

I earned my PhD in Quantitative Psychology from the University of Oklahoma. I worked with Hairong Song and David Bard where I developed techniques to analyze time series of verbalizations from parent-child dyads. Here is my dissertation which applies multilevel markov models parametrized through a survival modeling framework, and here is a recent publication of these same data.

Prior to my time at OU I was a senior data analyst at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn I was mentored by Ruben C. Gur and Tyler Moore, where I worked on examining brain-behavior relationships in a neurodevelopmental cohort. Here is an example of these analyses that examined brain-behavior relationships from multimodal neuroimaging data predicting cognitive performance on the Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery.

Outside of my research, I can be found enjoying both mountain biking and road cycling, reading science fiction or fantasy literature, with a growing interest in historical nonfiction.
