Daniel Conroy-BeamAssociate Professor |
Dan uses an evolutionary perspective to examine human mating psychology. He combines computer simulations with studies of real couples to help understand the nature of mate preferences, mate choice, and romantic relationships. | |

Emily JacobsAssociate Professor |
Dr. Jacobs' research pairs endocrinology and brain imaging techniques to determine the impact of sex steroid hormones on brain morphology and function. | Neuroscience Research Institute, Feminist Futures Initiative |
Skirmantas JanusonisProfessor |
Dr. Janusonis studies serotonergic and other stochastic axon systems, with a focus on comparative neurobiology and computational neuroscience. | |
Ron KeiflinAssistant Professor |
Our lab studies the neurobehavioral basis of associative learning and decision-making (adaptive and maladaptive). We use sophisticated behavioral tasks in rodents, in combination with modern tools to monitor and manipulate neural activity. | |
Heejung KimProfessor |
Heejung Kim investigates cultural influences on psychological processes, and their implications for important real life outcomes, such as health, education, immigration, and policy support. | |
Tod KippinProfessor |

Regina LapateAssistant Professor |
Dr. Lapate investigates the mechanisms and neural circuitry underlying emotional processing, awareness, and emotion regulation. Her multi-modal approach includes recordings of peripheral physiology, brain imaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation. | |
Laura Simone LewisAssistant Professor |
||
Zoe LibermanAssociate Professor |
Zoe Liberman studies infants and children to learn about the origins and developmental trajectory of humans' understanding of the social world. Her research is at the intersection of developmental and social psychology. | |
Richard MayerDistinguished Professor |
educational psychology, cognitive psychology, multimedia learning, online learning, computer-based instruction, learning with games and virtual reality, learning strategies and study skills, science and mathematics education, animated pedagogical agents | |
Michael MillerProfessor |
||
David PietraszewskiAssistant Professor |
David uses evolutionary, developmental, and social perspectives to study the nature of human social group representations and explores how evolutionary psychology may aid the meta-science and reform movements in psychology. | |
Kyle RatnerAssociate Professor |
Kyle Ratner investigates face processing in an intergroup context and the consequences of social perception for mental and physical health. His research uses theories and methods from social psychology and cognitive neuroscience (e.g., fMRI, EEG). | |

Ikuko SmithAssistant Professor |
||
Thomas SpragueAssistant Professor |
My work uses computational methods applied to noninvasive human neuroimaging (fMRI; EEG) to understand how neural processing of visual information changes across manipulations of attention, working memory, and eye movements. | |
Karen SzumlinskiProfessor |
Dr. Szumlinski’s major research interest concerns the biochemical mechanisms underlying the changes in brain and behavior produced by chronic exposure to drugs of abuse. | |
Rene WeberProfessor |
Rene Weber is a media psychologist and investigates complex cognitive responses to media communication with an emphasis on the neural mechanisms of moral judgment, persuasion, media violence, cognitive control, and flow experiences. | |
Annie E. WertzAssistant Professor |
||
Brandon WooAssistant Professor |
||
Vanessa WoodsAssociate Teaching Professor |
Vanessa Woods looks at factors that affect traditionally underrepresented groups success in educational settings, which includes studying pedagogical practices that create equity in large college classes. | |
Hongbo YuAssistant Professor |
Dr. Yu combines behavioral experiments, neuroscience and computational modeling to understand the relationship between emotion (e.g., guilt, gratitude) and morality and their neural representations. |
