Ritika Chokhani

I’ve had a varied career journey, including working as a clinical psychologist in inpatient and outpatient settings and working on policy projects for disaster mental health in India.

I’m currently fully focused on research, looking at how childhood trauma can affect our social relationships and mental health. I’m trying to take an interdisciplinary approach to my PhD, primarily combining methods from epidemiology and experimental research paradigms to look at my topic from different angles.

Ever since I discovered open science practices, I’ve been trying to learn more about them and apply them to my own work, as well as advocate for them with others. I’m also interested in advancing research skills training in settings where there may be lower access to this. I love writing and have also dabbled in writing fiction.

Please reach out if you would like to collaborate, discuss something or have any questions that I can help with!
