معرفی
Giulia Righi is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and a Lead Psychologist at Bradley Hospital. She integrates cognitive neuroscience with clinical psychology to advance understanding and treatment of psychiatric comorbidities in neurodevelopmental disorders.
Education
- PhD, Brown University, 2009
- BS, Brown University, 2004
Research Interests
Righi’s work centers on overlapping themes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). She investigates psychiatric comorbidities across the lifespan, with a particular focus on youth. Her studies span sleep physiology, emotion dysregulation, suicidality, and care delivery models that integrate evidence-based exposure therapies within hospital and telehealth settings.
Methodologically, she combines actigraphy, wearable EEG, functional neuroimaging, and large-scale epidemiological cohorts (e.g., RI-CART) to translate basic science findings into clinical practice. Current clinical trials explore transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as an augmentation strategy for exposure-based treatments.
