Andrew R. Tunggal

Research Assistant
Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Lab at the San Francisco VA Medical Center
Berkeley, California, United States

Andrew Tunggal, B.A., is a Research Assistant at the Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Lab at the San Francisco VA Medical Center under the supervision of Dr. Sabra Inslicht, Ph.D. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Data Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2019. Following graduation, he held roles in analytics and coding, contributing to projects such as the analysis of customer behavior patterns to improve direct-to-customer email campaign marketing and the improvement of a local server with functionality to facilitate sustained behavior change and habit formation. As his analytical toolkit was expanding, he was also experiencing a growing interest in human behavior and mental health. This culminated in a career transition towards clinical science, with the goal of better understanding the human psyche and being able to render help to others.

With the Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Lab at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, he supports various functions including study recruitment, data management and analysis, and IRB submission details. Andrew also serves as a peer counselor to adolescents and young adults in the UC Berkeley Christian community, providing support to those facing personal, emotional, and academic stressors. His research interests center on trauma-related psychopathology, dissociation, and the mechanisms underlying emotion regulation, but he finds himself fascinated by many different facets of psychology, especially pertaining to the child and adolescent populations. He is currently also taking psychology-related coursework with the view to applying to graduate programs in clinical psychology in the near future. He hopes to continue to grow as a developing researcher and aspiring clinician, contributing meaningfully to the scientific understanding and compassionate treatment of trauma-related disorders.
