Yukihiro Kitagawa, M.A.

Yuki (he/him/his) is a second-year PhD student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Oregon. He graduated from Stony Brook University with an M.A. and an B.S. in Psychology.

Yuki is interested in understanding 1) how multicultural identities/experience (e.g., immigrants, international students, multiracial/multiethnic identities, or LGBTQ people of color) influence mental health experience, 2) how to use this knowledge to inform implementation science and practices, and 3) how to use advance statistics and data science to deliver his research.

In his free time, Yuki likes to cook, exercise, playing sports, and taking care of his cats and plant.
