I completed my PhD training in Psychology at New York University and post-doctoral training at Columbia University as a social neuroscientist. In my academic research, I explored how people make social judgments of others. This work spanned topics from how stereotypes are automatically activated in the brain, to how we unconsciously judge personality traits and emotions from facial appearance. My research applied surveys, implicit behavioral methods, and physiological measurement (functional neuroimaging, fMRI, EEG).
