David A. Gallo joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 2005. He received his B.A. from Wesleyan University in 1997, his Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2002, and was an NIH-sponsored postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University until 2005. He researches the basic neurocognitive processes of human memory, how we actively (and sometimes inaccurately) reconstruct the past, and how healthy aging and Alzheimer’s disease affect these processes.

Tesnim’s research interests encompass the theoretical and applied dimensions of human memory and learning. Broadly speaking, she seeks to ascertain how metacognition affects mnemonic processes, how the relationship between metacognition and memory is impacted by aging and other factors, and whether metacognitive beliefs can be harnessed to produce positive behavioral outcomes.
