THOMAS BRADBURY (he/him) is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at UCLA. After earning his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1990 from the University of Illinois, he moved to Los Angeles to start the Marriage and Family Development Laboratory at UCLA. Since then, Bradbury and his team have conducted several longitudinal studies that help explain how marriages change and how couples can keep their relationship healthy and strong. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the John Templeton Foundation, Bradbury and his collaborators have published more than 140 research articles, an undergraduate textbook on intimate relationships, and three edited books, including The Psychology of Marriage. Recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Award from the UCLA Psychology Department, Bradbury has also been honored with several awards for his research on marriage and intimate relationships, including the Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Achievements from the American Psychological Association and, in 2013, an honorary doctorate from Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. Bradbury has served as an expert advisor on government initiatives to promote healthy relationships in the US and Australia, and several of his graduate students and post-doctoral fellows have gone on to hold tenure-track positions, including Rebecca Cobb at Simon Fraser University, Joanne Davila at Stony Brook University, Matthew Johnson at Binghamton University, Benjamin Karney at UCLA, Justin Lavner at the University of Georgia, Erika Lawrence at the University of Arizona, Ronald Rogge at the University of Rochester, Dominik Schoebi at the University of Fribourg, and Kieran Sullivan at Santa Clara University. |
