 | Associate Professor Burnett Hall 317 | Dr. Andrews's research focuses on understanding mental health disparities among Latino populations, particularly immigrant and Spanish-speaking populations to identify mechanisms of disparities among Latino populations, such as trauma exposure, poverty, linguistic barriers, and cultural factors. Dr. Andrews also evaluates strategies for reducing identified disparities, such as inter professional service delivery and technological adjuncts to care. Lab website: Iniciativa HABLa Lab |
 | Professor Stadium East C83 | Dr. Barbey’s research investigates the neural mechanisms of human intelligence and decision making, with particular emphasis on enhancing these functions through cognitive neuroscience, physical fitness, and nutritional intervention. Lab website: Decision Neuroscience Lab |
 | Associate Professor Burnett Hall 220 | Dr. Brock’s program of research is aimed at understanding the development of psychopathology across the lifespan with a focus on the family context and its etiological significance. Lab website: Family Development Lab |
 | Assistant Professor Burnett Hall 218 | Dr. Chiou’s program of research is aimed at understanding cognitive functioning associated with the brain’s response to and recovery from moderate and severe traumatic brain injury. Her research is guided by the use of neuroimaging techniques to explore translational themes in neurorehabilitation. These themes range from the investigation of basic mechanisms that underlie performance/behavior to the development of tools, protocols, and interventions for clinical application.

 | Professor & Chair Burnett Hall 216 | Dr. DiLillo’s primary research interests are in the area of family violence, including child maltreatment and couple violence. Lab website: Violence Intervention for Survivors of Trauma and Abuse Lab |
 | Professor Burnett Hall 238 | Dr. Hansen’s primary research area is child maltreatment (sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect), including development of assessments and interventions for victims and families, maltreatment prevention, and understanding the correlates and consequences of maltreatment. Much of this research activity occurs in conjunction with clinical services and training provided in collaboration with community agencies. Lab website: Child Maltreatment Lab |
 | Dean and Associate Vice Chancellor SEH 101 | Professor Hope’s lab is following two main lines of research – assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, especially social anxiety disorder, and using technology to help make treatment more available in underserved areas and the impact of stigma and discrimination on the health and well-being of the LGBTQ community. Lab website: Trans Collaborations |
 | Associate Professor STE C66 | Dr. Lorenz's research research examines the interaction between women's mental, physical and sexual health. The Women, Immunity and Sexual Health (WISH) lab investigates the ways that sexual behavior impact women's immune and endocrine function, as well as ways to help women with mental and/or physical health conditions have happy, healthy sexual lives. We also focus on helping survivors of sexual trauma through basic science and clinical research. Lab website: Women, Immunity and Sexual Health Lab |
 | Professor and DCT Burnett Hall 321 | Dr. McChargue's research aims a) examine the use of technology and digital humans as prevention and treatment aids for substance use problems; 2) assessing the effectiveness of restorative justice interventions for justice involved individuals. Lab website: B-Smart Laboratory |
 | Professor STE B79 | Dr. Nelson's research interests are in pediatric psychology. Specifically, his work focuses on the intersection between health and behavior with an emphasis on health promotion in children and adolescents. Lab website: Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (DCN) Lab |
 | Professor STE C89 | Dr. Savage's research examines brain health, including the neural processes underlying health behaviors - for example, staying physically active and maintaining optimal body weight and strength – and the reciprocal impact these choices have on long term brain health. |
 | Professor Burnett Hall 337 | Dr. Scalora is currently performing research in a variety of areas related to targeted violence and threat assessment. This research continues to involve collaboration with state and federal agencies. Lab website: Targeted Violence Research Team |
 | Professor Emeritus Burnett Hall 317 | Dr. Spaulding’s research interests address various aspects of schizophrenia and other severe disorders, including clinical and experimental psychopathology, the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation, and service systems and social policy. |
