Get involved
Our lab is composed of many talented students. Although much of our research is directed by graduate students pursuing their doctoral degrees, some projects are conducted by undergraduates and some of their senior thesis projects have been published in the best journals in psychology! 

Note: During the 2023-24 academic year, I will be on academic leave thus delays in responding to emails are likely during this period.
