Presenter:
Christina Ralph-Nearman, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Ralph-Nearman is a Post-doctoral Fellow in the EAT Lab in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville. Dr. Ralph-Nearman's main research focuses are: 1) Developing innovative tools with objective methods that implicitly identify and treat eating disorders; 2) Individual differences, underlying mechanisms, and illness trajectory of eating disorders. Dr. Ralph-Nearman’s co-invention and development of Somatomap (a multi-platform 2D/3D body image assessment tool) has been recognized, such as by the Academy for Eating Disorders with the ‘2020 Early Career Abstract Award’ and the ‘2017 Young Investigators Award’. The current presentation is testing the feasibility to predict physiological changes related to eating disorder behaviors, such as purging, using machine learning (NIH R15 grant data).

Jamie-Lee Pennesi, Ph.D. Dr. Pennesi is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the EAT Lab in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville. Her main research interests are in the development and prevention of eating disorders, body image issues, and disordered eating behaviors (e.g., muscularity-oriented behaviors) among adults and sexual minority populations. She is also interested in longitudinal modeling and ecological momentary assessment methods (e.g., daily diary studies). Poster cite: Pennesi, J-L., & Levinson C. A. (September 2022).
