About Jennifer Villatte

I\'m a clinical psychologist committed to achieving health equity and helping people thrive with behavioral innovations that empower personal and global transformation. My approach to health promotion is holistic, person-centered, and context-sensitive, with an emphasis on efficiently targeting core drivers of change and a goal of living well. I partner with innovators in technology, human-centered design, and data science to optimize behavioral health and well-being. I have a strong interest in developing interpretable models that capture the full complexity of the human experience. I value collaborative engagement in translational research and enjoy partnering with expansive thinkers and radical doers in engineering, behavioral science, human-centered design, and data science. I am always seeking academic and industry partners with complementary expertise and a shared interest in developing predictive models that facilitate timely, personalized, and ecologically valid interventions to improve health and well-being.
