Jingrun Lin

LIFE Fellow since 2024, University of Virginia

I'm a 5th year PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program at the University of Virginia. My research interest involves broadly examining social relationships and health benefits and their application to clinical populations across the lifespan. More specifically, my projects use a multi-level approach derived from behavioral ecology, tracking individuals' relationship behaviors from early adolescence to late adulthood. I'm originally from Dalian, China. In my free time, I like playing board games, hanging out with my cat and friends, and enjoying various restaurants.
