Kathryn Babbitt
Research Assistant
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in 2024 at Vanderbilt University where I majored in Psychology and minored in Gender and Sexuality Studies. My undergraduate research assistantship culminated in an Honors Thesis which focused on anomalous bodily experiences as a result of trauma and how these experiences influence psychosis risk. My other research experience includes studying interventions for youth in prisons adjudicated for illegal sexual behaviour.
At the CCNR, I am working in the Bahn Lab to investigate mental health technologies with an interest in creating accessible and validated strategies to use for early intervention in mental healthcare.

Erin Funnell
Research Assistant
Whilst studying for a BSc in psychology at the University of Leeds, I completed a dissertation investigating the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation on haemodynamic responses and benefits on cognitive functioning in older adults. In addition, I worked at the university as a research assistant focused on prioritization in working memory.
After graduating in 2019, I began working at Psyomics, a health technology start-up developing a diagnostic and screening app for common mental health conditions. Within this role, I contributed to developing the mental health assessment, validation and gaining a medical device certification.
My interests are in continuing to work towards developing evidence-based health technologies to support individuals with mental health concerns. Whilst working within the CCNR team, I am focusing on acceptability of health technologies for patients with and without chronic gynaecological conditions.
