Dani Kang, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Her research focuses on understanding the neurocognitive and contextual factors that influence alcohol and cannabis use and related disorders. She uses a multimodal approach that integrates neuroimaging (fMRI), electrophysiology (EEG/ERP), ecological momentary assessment, and passive sensing technologies to bridge laboratory-based measures with real-world behavior. Her work aims to identify mechanisms of risk and resilience in substance use and to inform the development of more precise, context-sensitive interventions.
