Biography

Ngan (Nora) Nguyen is a first-year doctoral student on the Developmental Science track at the University of Minnesota Institute of Child Development. She is interested in studying the impacts of intergenerational transmission of risks (e.g., parental psychopathology and adverse childhood experiences) on child and adolescent key regulatory processes and mental health outcomes among Southeast Asian populations and their diasporas. Additionally, her interests include looking beyond the nuclear family system to better understand intergenerational trauma by accounting for broader ecological contexts and interpersonal settings.
