I have broad research interests concerning environmental influence on social decision making. Currently I am working with Dr. Meidenbauer on a project regarding impulsivity measured by the stop signal task.

I am a graduate student in the MAPSS program. I hold a B.A. in Cognitive Science from Northwestern University. My research interests concern how socioenvironmental experience may influence and shape cognition and neurological function across the lifespan, particularly in adolescence.

 I am a master student in MAPSS program. I received my B.S.in Psychology with minor in Computer Science from the Tsinghua University in China, 2017. I have long interests in cognitive neuroscience and computational methods, specifically, how we could leverage them for better well-being emotionally and cognitively. Currently I am doing my thesis in the lab, working on the fNIRS environmental neuroscience project.

I am a second-year graduate student in the MACSS program. I received my B.S. in Psychology and Cognitive Science from the University of California, San Diego. My research interests focus on how green space (e.g. parks) access and exposure impact overall well-being and vary by socioeconomic status/race.

I am a first-year student at the University of Chicago majoring in psychology. I am interested in the ways environmental factors affect cognitive development across different social groups. In the future, I plan to pursue a career incorporating both public policy and psychology.

Isaaq is an energetic rising third-year majoring in Psychology & Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning. He hopes to combine the concepts of Psychology with Computer Science to improve technology through Artificial Intelligence. As a Chicago native who grew up in Logan Square, he is excited to explore more about the relationships between socioeconomic status and a neighborhood’s environment. 

I am a third-year in the college studying Statistics. I am also pursuing the pre-health track. I am interested in how machine-learning algorithms can be utilized to better improve human data as well as how the environment plays a role in development. 

Maya is a second year in the college studying Neuroscience and English. She is interested in studying how urbanization and socialization affect the lived situation of the individual and is currently involved in the Depression in Neighborhoods project with Andrew Stier and Kaylah Thomas.

I am a rising third-year undergraduate at the University of Chicago. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience. I’m interested in how the external environment can influence human behavior and emotion. I am excited to be working on the neighborhood greenspace mapping project in Chicago.

I’m an undergraduate neuroscience student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Through UP on EHS, a biomedical research fellowship focused on environmental health and justice, I’ve been able to have a hand in ENL’s research. I am thrilled to be aiding ENL in mapping Chicago’s greenspaces and investigating how environmental characteristics, such as air pollution, affect human behavior in an urban setting.
