I am a new Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami. Previously, I was a Wu Tsai Institute postdoctoral fellow at Yale University, working with Profs. John Murray and Amy Arnsten.  I completed my Ph.D. in 2021 under the mentorship of Mark D’Esposito at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on how prefrontal cortex circuitry supports successful working memory behavior and the remarkable flexibility of human cognition. I am also an avid mountain and road biker, often thinking about research problems while on two wheels. [Google Scholar] [cv] 

Graduate Student

Courtney is a first-year graduate student in the Clinical Psychology program. She received a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Chemistry from Fordham University and then worked as a postgraduate associate in the Cho Lab at Yale University. Her previous research focused on investigating the neural correlates of cognitive deficits in psychosis spectrum disorders. In graduate school, she aims to continue using precision neuroimaging tools to study cognitive processes and clinical disorders. Outside from research, she enjoys working out as well as coaching young children in swimming.

Research Associate / Lab Manager

Hi, my name is Esmeralda, and I recently graduated from the University of Florida (go gators!) with degrees in Statistics and Psychology. I'm a very curious person who is deeply passionate about uncovering the closest thing we have to the truth by using math and data. I’m excited to utilize neuroimaging and statistical analysis to uncover insights about working memory and cognition as part of the JAM lab!
