Bio: Matt is currently a second year graduate student working with Dr. Philip Kendall. He received his undergraduate degree in Psychology from Boston University where he wrote his honors thesis on barriers to the dissemination of computer-based psychological treatment.  After graduation, he spent two years working as a research assistant in the Behavioral Medicine Service at Massachusetts General Hospital.  His research interests include understanding patient, clinician, interpersonal, and intervention specific factors that contribute to positive clinical outcomes and the use of novel statistical methods to examine these dynamic processes, computer-based therapy and assessment, and barriers to the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments.
