Research and Expertise

Research Interests

As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Minnix is particularly interested in furthering the understanding of the affective processes of nicotine addiction and believes that the psychophysiological study of individual differences resulting from and/or leading to chronic nicotine use offers a promising line of inquiry. Moreover, this line of research can be integrated into future treatment strategies that may be able to target individual differences in smokers attempting to quit. Dr. Minnix is also interested in continuing to develop a multidisciplinary approach to the study of cigarette smoking, including expanding her knowledge of neuro-imaging and co-morbid mood disorders in a smoking population. Her expertise in psychophysiology in general and interest in neurobiological indices of high-level cognitive and affective processing in particular provides a unique potential for collaboration in the department's Tobacco Research and Treatment Program. Dr. Minnix worked closely with a variety of mentors to increase her breadth and depth of knowledge related to nicotine dependence, cognitive and affective neuroscience, EEG and fMRI technology, and project administration through her awarded R-25 and K99 training grants.
