Candice Odgers, PhD (she/her/hers)

Associate Dean and Chancellor's Professor
University of California Irvine
Corona Del Mar, California

Candice Odgers is an award winning psychologist, scientist, and expert on adolescent mental health. She is a leading authority on how to best support and protect children in the digital age. With over 20 years of experience leading research on adolescent mental health, her team captures the daily lives of adolescents on their smartphones and works with young people, parents, and policy-makers to implement science-based solutions.

As a parent of two adolescents, she understands the day to day challenges of supporting and protecting young people in a rapidly changing and increasingly digital world. Odgers provides an authoritative and trusted view on the science alongside solutions that parents and policy-makers can use to both keep adolescents safe and support their still developing brains and bodies.

Odgers has written for The Atlantic, taken the mainstage at The Aspen Ideas Festival, and has been featured for her science in the New York Times. She is the author of over 100 scientific publications that have been broadly covered in outlets such as the Economist, London Times, Scientific American, and the Washington Post. She is currently a Professor and Associate Dean at the University of California, Irvine.
