Research
My research draws on theories and methods from social psychology, cognitive and computational neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to understand cognitive and neural bases of stereotyping and prejudice. My research at UCSB has focused on how group membership influences the way we encode, mentally represent, and evaluate faces of people who belong to our group (ingroup) vs. those who do not (outgroup).
