Brian TaeHyuk Keum, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley. His main research programs focus on (a) mitigating mental health (e.g., depression, loneliness, trauma) and behavioral (e.g., problematic substance use, suicide risk) costs of online violence and discrimination (e.g., online racism, online gendered racism, online heterosexism) among racially/ethnically minoritized adolescents and young adults, and (b) critical intersectional exploration of mental health, socialization (gendered racism, gendered racial socialization), and flourishing (affirmative socialization) among Asian Americans. He is a PI on a NIMH Small Technology Transfer Grant, collaborating with a culturally-sensitive digital mental health platform (Anise Health Inc.) to improve mental health services for Asian Americans, and a Co-PI on an American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-funded study examining suicide bereaved Asian American families. He also examines disparities in mental health services and clinician training, culturally-congruent psychological measure development/evaluation, and cross-racial solidarity and community resilience.
