Investigators
Kevin M. King, PhD
Principal Investigator and Lab Director
Dr. King is a Professor of Clinical and Quantitative Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. Dr. King is a clinical and quantitative psychologist who is interested in understanding how psychopathology (such as drug and alcohol disorders, and behavioral and emotional disorders) develops during adolescence and young adulthood. His research takes a developmental psychopathology perspective, which views psychopathology as arising from interactions between individuals and their contexts across development.
Although we have studied multiple outcomes and processes, the core of my research has focused on how impulsivity develops during adolescence and young adulthood, how the development of impulsivity is associated with psychopathology, how context shapes the ability to control one’s impulses in the moment and across development, and how impulsivity may either enhance or buffer the effects of other risk factors on problematic alcohol and drug use.
In order to test these types of questions, our lab use a variety of observational and experimental methods. Much of our research used short and long-term longitudinal data collection (such as ecological momentary assessment; EMA, and longitudinal data collection) and longitudinal data analysis (generalized mixed linear (i.e. multilevel) models, latent growth curve, growth mixture, latent difference score models).
Our lab also has a line of methodological research focused on improving the implementation of statistical methods among applied researchers.
Dr. King completed his PhD. in Clinical Psychology from Arizona State University in 2007, and his clinical internship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center/Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic from 2006 - 2007. He has been on faculty at the University of Washington in Clinical and Quantitative Psychology since 2007.

Postdoctoral Scholar
Jonas Dora, PhD
Postdoctoral researcher
Jonas defended his PhD in psychology in October 2020 and has been a postdoctoral researcher in the RADLab since then. His research focuses on affect-regulation models of alcohol use and alcohol-related decision-making. He studies the interplay between emotions and alcohol use in intensive longitudinal and experimental data.
Doctoral Students
Michele Smith
Doctoral Student, Clinical Psychology
Michele is a sixth-year doctoral student. She obtained her Master's in Child Studies from Vanderbilt University, and her B.A. in Psychology and English from Dartmouth College. She is interested in risk and protective factors in the development of psychopathology in children and adolescents. Factors of particular interest include coping and self-regulation, parenting, and experiences of adversity.
Katherine Seldin
Doctoral Student, Clinical Psychology
Katherine is completing her clinical psychology internship at Northwestern University Medical Center. Katherine's dissertation focused on the intersection of sleep, urgency, and emotions in the daily lives of young adults.
Megan Schultz
Doctoral Student, Clinical Psychology
Megan is a fourth- year clinical doctoral student who obtained her B.A. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is broadly interested in the etiology of alcohol use disorder. Presently, she is focusing on gaining a better understanding of the influence of alcohol consequences and their impact on future drinking expectancies and decision making, with an NRSA awarded from NIAAA
