Cambria is a second-year doctoral student in the Cognitive Psychology program. Before joining the Brain Bridge Lab, she majored in Biological Basis of Behavior at the University of Pennsylvania, and spent two years as a post-baccalaureate research fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health. She is broadly interested in memorability of real-world images, and is currently investigating the ability of people to predict what they will remember or forget.

Emma is a second-year PhD student in the Cognitive Psychology program. She graduated with a B.S. in Neuroscience from The Ohio State University in 2019 before working as a lab manager / research assistant at Vanderbilt University for two years. Emma is interested in taking advantage of multiple methods, such as drawing and EEG, to study how (and what) we forget as well as how our memory representations change over time. In her free time, she likes to read, knit, and try to make the prettiest farm in her favorite video game, Stardew Valley.

Hannah is broadly interested in how students learn, think, and apply knowledge in novel situations. Currently, she is interested in examining (1) the memorability of gestures in STEM learning; (2) the mechanisms behind gestures that promote STEM learning using brain imaging methods.

Yuetong is a second-year student in the Masters of Computational Social Science Program at the University of Chicago. He graduated from Beijing Normal University in 2021, with a major in psychology and a minor in computer science. He is currently investigating the role of image memorability in Alzheimer‘s disease with biomarkers and neuroimaging data. He is interested in memory and learning as well as other aspects of cognitive science.

Fiona is a second-year student in the Masters of Computational Social Science Program at the University of Chicago. She graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020 with double major in psychology and computer science. Fiona is researching memorability of object images and spatial structure of image memory representations. She is interested in memory and concept representations, and their roles in human learning mechanism.

Trent is a fourth-year double majoring in Neuroscience and Visual Arts on the Pre-Med track. He is very interested in the overlap between the arts and neuroscience, particularly the impact that visual stimulus can have on the way that our brain functions and develops. In his free time, Trent loves to paint, draw, and listen to rap/ R&B.

Sam is a second-year triple majoring in Psychology, Anthropology, and History. He is particularly interested in the role that the five senses have in relation to the strength of memories. In his free time, he enjoys playing adventure games, reading fantasy novels, and cooking.

Esther is a second-year majoring in Data Science and minoring in Computational Neuroscience. She enjoys exploring how the brain functions and is eager to combine psychology with the application of data science and machine learning to help better understand the human mind. This past year Esther has been interning for a pharmaceutical company based in Boston building Python functions, creating compliance reports, and making presentations to implement data science into the field of medicine. She enjoys playing soccer in her free time and exploring new restaurants and bakeries downtown.
