Biography

My research uses behavioral and neuroscience techniques to investigate human face perception.  My lab focuses on two questions: how we form impressions of other people based on facial appearance and how becoming familiar with people changes the way we process their faces.

Among other courses, I teach Introduction to Psychology, a first-year seminar on creativity, a combined lecture-laboratory course on psychophysiology, and a senior seminar on social neuroscience.
