Dr. Jenny Mai Phan is the Assistant Director of Community Engagement at the Center for Adaptive Systems of Brain-Body Interactions and a Research Assistant Professor at the College of Engineering and Computing at George Mason University.

An autistic, multiply neurodivergent researcher, Dr. Phan focuses on autism and co-occurring mental health conditions in adolescents, with a special interest in how biopsychosocial factors affect early and delayed puberty and the role of sexual health education in autistic teens’ mental health and well-being. Her lived experiences as an Asian American woman, wife, mother, and advocate deeply inform her work and commitment to intersectionality.
