Overview
Background
Dr Stjepanović is a senior research fellow at the National Centre for Youth Substance Use Research (NCYSUR). His work focusses on how drug use patterns are changing, particularly as a consequence of public policy. This includes, for example, understanding who vapes cannabis, if psychedelics are being used to self-treat physical and psychiatric symptoms, and what the effect psychedelic microdosing has. Additionally, he is interested in using experimental methods to understand substance use, leveraging his background in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience.

Substance use in neurodiverse populations
This opportunity is for students who are interested in expanding our understanding of substance use (i.e., drinking alcohol) and addiction behaviours (e.g. video gaming) in neurodiverse populations. There is currently a sparse understanding of how neurodiverse individuals appraoch substances and addictive behaviours, limiting our ability to adequately monitor and respond when behaviours or use patterns become problematic.
Students will engage in a variety of different methodologies, both quantitative and qualitative, to provide a breadth of knowledge and skills.
