Shirley B. Wang, M.A.

Graduate Student
Harvard University
Cambridge, Massachusetts

Shirley Wang is a PhD candidate in clinical psychology with a secondary in computational science and engineering at Harvard University, working with Dr. Matthew Nock. She has been funded by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and the National Institutes of Health F31/NRSA Predoctoral Fellowship. She is currently completing internship at Massachusetts General Hospital on the CBT Track. Starting in July 2024, Shirley will join the Department of Psychology at Yale University as an Assistant Professor.
Shirley conducts computational clinical science research to advance the understanding, prediction, and prevention of suicide, nonsuicidal self-injury, and eating disorders. She is particularly interested in formal mathematical modeling of these phenomena as complex dynamical systems, and developing machine learning models for risk prediction using data from smartphones and wearables. Shirley’s work has been published in over 40 scientific papers and book chapters and recognized through the receipt of several awards, including the 2018 APA Early Graduate Student Researcher Award, the 2020 SSCP Outstanding Student Researcher Award, and the 2022 PEO Wilma Leonard Turner-Marie Endowed Scholar Award. In addition to research, Shirley finds immense joy in mentorship, and she was the inaugural recipient of the ABCT Student Spotlight Mentor Award in 2021.
