PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am Director of the Computational Neuropsychology and Simulation (CNS) Laboratory. My
work integrates neuropsychology, psychophysiology, and simulation technologies for novel
assessment, modeling, and training of neurocognitive and affective processes. I am a leading
scientist in this area and I have been PI of 17 funded projects during my career and an investigator
on an additional 13 funded projects (over $15 million in funding). My current federally funded
grant “Virtual Reality-Based Assessment of Functional Capacities in Individuals with Alzheimer’s
Disease or Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementia” (Co-Principal-Investigator; W81XWH-18-
PRARP) uses virtual reality to assess neuropsychological functioning and everyday functional
capacities in older adults, particularly veterans, with traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s
disease, as well as Alzheimer’s disease related dementia. In addition to my patents for
eHarmony.com's Matching System (U.S. Patent Nos. 2004/6735568; 2014/0180942 A1), I have
invented and validated virtual reality-based assessments of attention; spatial abilities; memory;
and executive functions. I use neural networks and machine learning to model mechanisms
underlying reinforcement learning, decision making, working memory, and inhibitory control. In
addition to my five books, I have over 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals and book
chapters. I have served as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Psychiatry, Frontiers in Human
Neuroscience, and the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. I have served on the editorial boards of
Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking; Assessment; Brain Sciences; Psychological
Assessment; PsycCRITIQUES; and several advisory boards. My contributions to neuropsychology
were recognized when I received the 2013 National Academy of Neuropsychology Early Career
Achievement award. In 2014, I was awarded Fellow status in the National Academy of
Neuropsychology.

TEACHING/MENTORING
As a teacher and mentor, I endeavor to build students’ strengths by helping them understand the
course material or the theory behind a research project, to think critically and absorb both the larger
picture and the relevant details of a concept or a study, and finally, to apply what they have learned
to their own lived experiences. Beyond intellectual growth, I also encourage students to be open
to others’ diverse perspectives, helping them to see the value in considering alternative viewpoints.
Ultimately, I want my students to leave the classroom/research experience with both a solid grasp
of neuropsychological theory and broader intellectual, interpersonal, and professional skills.
Courses Taught
Neurobiological Bases of Behavior: This course focuses on the biological determinants of
behavior, including such topics as human neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and neurobehavioral
correlates of cerebral function.
Physiological Psychology: Fundamentals of Physiological Psychology, including basic
neurophysiological laboratory techniques and a survey of current research with an in-depth
study in one research area by each student.
Cyberpsychology and the Brain: Explores neurocognitive processes in human computer
interaction. Emphasis placed upon neural correlates of social media, cybersecurity, NeuroIS,
and videogames.
Human-Computer Interaction: Study of the human as an information processor. Computer
interface design that takes into consideration human capabilities and limitations. Educational
implications of system input/output facilities. Impact upon instructional system design.
Perception and Cognition: A general survey of current data in perception and cognition.
Perception topics covered are psychophysics, sensory psychology, perceptual constancies and
61
the development of perception. Cognition topics include short- and long-term memory,
problem solving, concept formation and the acquisition of knowledge. The information
processing approach is emphasized as a means of interpreting perception and cognition.
Learning and Cognition: Study and analysis of models of cognitive systems including
acquiring, manipulating, storing, interpreting, and using information; special emphasis on the
unique interactions between human information processing and computer-based processing as
they apply to the instructional environment.
Foundations of Learning Technologies: Study of the human as an information processor.
Computer interface design that takes into consideration human capabilities and limitations.
Educational implications of system input/output facilities. Impact upon instructional system
design.
Foundations of Learning Technologies: This course describes and demonstrates the
technologies and theories of learning technologies. Ideologies, principles and philosophies
behind learning technologies are examined as students explore a variety of technology tools.
General Linear Model (GLM): This course prepares students to analyze research data and
understand analyses at a conceptual level. Discussion of issues in research design and
philosophy of science are included. Students gain conceptual understanding of why
psychologists use the GLM and underlying meaning of commonly used statistical techniques.
Research and Evaluation: Students gain advanced skills in understanding and applying
statistical techniques to the analysis of research data. Strategies for conducting effective
evaluations are considered as students plan an evaluation using appropriate statistical analysis.
Students gain experience in the use of computers for statistical analysis.
Philosophy and History of Psychology: A survey of the historical and philosophical ideas that
guide educational theory and practice. Emphasis is on ethical clarification and practical
application of ideas in current, diverse educational settings. Emphases are placed upon various
philosophical systems in education and on the related issue of worldviews.
Ethical, Legal and Professional Issues in Computing: Focus on research literature and current
issues dealing with ethical and legal issues within the computing profession. Includes units on
intellectual property, moral philosophy, gender and minority issues affecting computer
education.
Psychology Practicum: Readings, lectures and discussion to develop an appropriate level of
knowledge (e.g., relationship of psychological science and practice, ethics, APA). Teaches
technical skills necessary for a scientist-practitioner in the student's specialty (e.g., empirically-
based and evidence-based evaluation and intervention, assessment, consultation).
62
Neuropsychological Assessment: Directed readings into neuropsychological assessment and
the diverse variables involved in administration, scoring, interpretation, and reporting of
neuropsychological assessment results. The importance of interpreting test results within the
context of individual cases and describing potential functional implications is highlighted.
Social Neuroscience: Exploration of current social neuroscience research (i.e., when
neuroscience methods are useful and when they are not); and considerations of future
experimental designs using this new approach to further inform our understanding of social
phenomena.
Directed Studies
Honors College (Thesis): Major research project prepared by the student under the supervision
of a faculty member and presented in standard thesis format. An oral defense is required of
each student for successful completion of the thesis.
Honors College Mentored Research: Research experience conducted by an honors student with
at least junior standing under the supervision of a faculty member. Prerequisite(s): Admission
to the Honors College; at least junior class status; consent of Honors College dean.
Neuropsychometrics: Topics include neuropsychological testing, inter-individual variation in
cognitive decline with normal aging, neuropsychometric examination, cognitive strengths and
weaknesses, and intervention plans.
Neuropsychology Research Practicum: Supervised experience in neuropsychology research.
Supervised training in the application of neuropsychological services in a clinic and
experimental settings
