Lab Research Assistant
September 2021 – May 2023
As a Lab Research Assistant at SPLAT Lab, I conducted research on peripheral psychophysiology measures, such as heart rate, and behavioral coding under the mentorship of Professor Michelle Shiota. I worked with computer-based studies and administered questionnaire measures, contributing to the lab’s research on emotional processes and behavioral responses. Engaging in weekly lab meetings, I discussed background theories, methodological decisions, and interpretations of study results with fellow researchers, which provided a strong foundation in both experimental and applied psychology methodologies.
