Tanya Manchanda
M.Ed., B.Sc. (Hons)
DPhil Student
I am a DPhil student in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry supervised by Mina Fazel and Alan Stein. I am primarily interested in adolescent friendship dynamics and their association with adolescent mental health. Currently, I am investigating school-based intervention programs that aim to improve mental health outcomes for adolescents through the involvement of their authentic social group.
Prior to starting at Oxford, I completed a M.Ed. in Human Development and Psychology at Harvard University, and an Honours B.Sc. in Psychology at the University of Toronto.
