About

Dr. Thulin is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention. Dr. Thulin uses mixed behavioral science and data science methods to understand factors that enhance the risk of violence and injury in adolescents and emerging adults and ways that technology and online spaces can exacerbate or be leveraged to reduce the risk of harm. In particular, she aims to identify differential impacts by rurality, gender, developmental stage, and other socio-demographic features. Her projects include evaluating student-submitted tips to a statewide Anonymous Report System, which is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Thulin graduated from the University of Michigan in 2022 with two PhDs, studying Health Behavior Health Education and Computational Science, and completed dual postdoctoral fellowships in Psychiatry at Michigan Medicine and Data Science at the Michigan Institute for Data Science.
