She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis in 2010, and was a postdoctoral fellow and faculty member at the University of Chicago prior to her current affiliation as a faculty member at Brown. Dr. Goldschmidt’s primary research interests focus on pathological eating behaviors that are related to adverse weight outcomes in children and adolescents, particularly loss of control eating. Her work utilizes innovative approaches, such as feeding laboratory paradigms, ecological momentary assessment, and neuroimaging, to investigate the etiology and maintenance of loss of control eating at both the momentary level, and throughout development. She hopes to translate her findings into developing effective interventions for eating- and weight-related problems across the lifespan.
