Kathleen Gates
Kathleen Marie "Katie" Gates is an American neuroscientist, quantitative psychologist, and faculty member in the L. L. Thurstone Psychometric Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is known for her contributions to network analysis, time series analysis, and structural equation modeling toward the development and dissemination of methods for quantifying intra-individual change and person-specific processes as they unfold across time.

Career
A native of Troy, Michigan, Gates earned a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University, a master's degree in forensic psychology from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, and a PhD in human development and family studies with a focus in quantitative methods from Pennsylvania State University. She joined the Psychology and Neuroscience faculty at the University of North Carolina in 2013.[2]
She is an elected member of the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology.[3]
Research
Gates publishes statistical methods for the analysis of intensive longitudinal data. Her primary source of funding is the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.[4]
