Brick specializes in understanding opioid use disorder recovery, focusing on recovery identity dynamics, residential treatment outcomes, and environmental influences on brain structure. His methodological expertise includes ecological momentary assessment, multi-level modeling, and computational analysis of affective states.

Recent projects involve:

• Developing real-time co-robot systems for personalized performance feedback based on affective states (NSF-funded)
• Investigating GLP-1 receptor agonists for opioid use disorder treatment (NIDA-funded)

His publications highlight interdisciplinary applications of data science in behavioral health interventions and recovery community infrastructure.
