Intersectional Health Promotion and Prevention of Sexual and Gender Diverse Youth
Dr. Sanders work focuses on building intersectional health promotion and prevention interventions for sexual and gender diverse youth, with a particular focus on expanding access to gender affirming care and optimizing adolescent and young adult sexual health, HIV/AIDS, and substance treatment and prevention interventions.
Psychosocial Functioning in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
My research focuses on the psychosocial functioning of children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I am particularly interested in parental stress, treatment adherence, and child psychosocial outcomes for children with very early-onset IBD. I am also actively involved in depression and anxiety screening integrated within standard GI clinical care.
Machine Learning and Computational Marketing
I am seeking research assistants to help develop the next generation of tools for marketing analytics, including methods for learning consumer preferences from unstructured image, text, and video data, new solutions for modeling customer lifetime value, and advanced machine learning tools for optimizing marketing. This is a technical position that requires prior coding experience.

The Debt of Cities: Financing Local Public Investment
Cities, towns, counties, school districts, water districts, and other local public entities in the US are responsible for most infrastructure investment today. In order to finance much of this investment, they borrow over $400 billion per year in public capital markets by issuing municipal bonds. This project seeks to understand newly emerging phenomenon and issues in public finance markets in the US and abroad.
I'm happy to work with undergraduates broadly interested in public debt and investment in public infrastructure, especially if we can create data products that are useful across more than one project.
SAFELab
The SAFELab is a transdisciplinary research lab drawing on qualitative and computational methods and leveraging reflexive social work values. We examine well-being, healthy equity, and social justice with youth of color and marginalized communities.
SAFELab is dedicated to using innovative methods to promote joy and healing in both online and offline spaces. We aim to build equitable partnerships with community members and community-based organizations that are engaged in building cultures of belonging, health, and safety.
We strive to connect the dots between professional knowledge, community engagement, and technology. We listen to and elevate lived realities in order to co-design and reimagine how AI and social media platforms can work for all.
Emotion and Neurodiversity Laboratory
The Emotion and Neurodiversity Laboratory studies how neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals understand and experience their emotions. Autistic children and adolescents experience anxiety and depression at much higher rates than the neurotypical population, for reasons we do not fully understand. Our studies leverage cognitive neuroscience to address this problem - by identifying possibile linkages, and points of divergence, between the neurobiology of autism, and that of anxiety and mood disorders. Our research also examines how anxiety and depression may appear fundamentally differently among autistic individuals, and in ways that may be difficulty to detect. A further goal of this research is to identify whether many of the behaviors and neurobiological profiles traditionally associated with autism may be better understood in terms of emotion processes, as opposed to more traditional, deficit-based models of social difficulty.
Energy Justice Lab
Researcher of energy justice, the energy transition, and decarbonization strategies
Gender-Based Violence Research Group
The Gender-Based Violence Research Group (GBVRG) is the lab for Dr. Millan AbiNader at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice. Dr. AbiNader performs mixed-methods research to understand the social ecology of gender-based violence (GBV), with particular attention to intimate partner violence-related fatalities, rural communities, and vicarious traumatization among frontline workers.
