Evan Kleiman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Psychology at Rutgers University. His research focuses on understanding and improving the lives of people at risk for suicide through innovative applications of technology, including ecological momentary assessment (EMA), wearables, and ecological momentary interventions (EMI). He leads the Kleiman Lab, which develops tools to make suicide prevention research more accessible. His work emphasizes real-time monitoring of emotional states and behaviors, leveraging smartphone apps to deliver scalable mental health interventions. Key areas of investigation include sleep disturbance, social media's impact on suicidal ideation, and the role of social connection among marginalized populations such as autistic adults and LGBTQ+ youth.
