Her research program investigates biobehavioral markers of addiction and recovery in opioid and methamphetamine use disorders alongside major depressive disorder, employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and event-related potentials to analyze neural correlates of emotion, cognition, and recovery processes. This neurobehavioral approach bridges clinical psychiatry and neuroscience to identify objective biomarkers for treatment development.

Dr. Stewart's work demonstrates consistent methodological rigor in studying substance use disorders and mood disorders, with particular emphasis on translational applications for improving clinical outcomes in addiction medicine and mental health treatment.
