The lab studies social perception, cognition, and memory, with the goal of characterizing the cognitive and neural basis or our ability to understand other people.

Specific research projects within that scope are flexible and dependent on the interests of the candidate. Fellows will have the opportunity to conceive of and design research studies, lead and participate in data collection and analysis, mentor graduate and undergraduate lab members, write fellowship and grant proposals, and present their results at scientific conferences.
