Dr. Sungeun Kang is an Assistant Professor in the School Psychology program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Grounded in applied, community-engaged research, her work focuses on the design, cultural adaptation, and real-world delivery of evidence-based interventions for autistic youth and children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Dr. Kang’s primary scholarship advances the understanding of emotion regulation as a transdiagnostic mechanism. She utilizes diverse methodologies, ranging from qualitative stakeholder engagement to the integration of physiological data, to study dyadic co-regulation and develop feasible supports across home and school contexts. Her current projects include adapting caregiver-mediated and teacher-led interventions to improve daily functioning and educational participation for autistic youth. Additionally, she investigates the organizational leadership factors and teacher preparation models necessary to promote inclusion in general education settings. Through her research, community partnerships, and mentorship of graduate students, Dr. Kang is dedicated to reducing service disparities and advancing social justice within educational systems.
