Alexandra Brockdorf, Ph.D., is a T32 postdoctoral research fellow at the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Brockdorf received her PhD in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in quantitative methods from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2024. She completed her predoctoral internship on the Traumatic Stress Track of the Charleston Consortium Psychology Internship Program. Her research examines the mental and physical health consequences of sexual assault experiences. She is especially interested in etiological processes underlying alcohol misuse after sexual assault, including intersections with other modifiable health behaviors (e.g., sleep). As part of this research, Dr. Brockdorf also studies socioecological barriers to treatment after sexual assault and risk factors for sexual assault perpetration. Her work leverages multi-method approaches (e.g., ecological momentary assessment, actigraphy, alcohol administration, experimental paradigms) to identify proximal targets for clinical interventions to support trauma recovery. Dr. Brockdorf's research has been funded through NIAAA, NIMH, and APA.
