PhD Student in Cognitive and Comparative Psychology
Graduate Center, City University of New York
Biography
I’m currently a PhD student at CUNY in the Cognitive and Comparative Psychology program at the Memory & Attention Lab under Dr. Timothy Ricker. My interests include working memory, consolidation into long-term memory, and how these functions differ in various populations. I’m particularly interested in using neuroimaging and eye-tracking to answer questions about human cognition.
I graduated from the University of Rochester in 2015, with a dual B.S./B.A. in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics. Previously, I’ve worked in a lab at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine investigating computer-based cognitive remediation programs to improve cognition and mobility.
