Research interests: I study how factors within early infancy and childhood affect brain development and may have consequences for developmental trajectories. It is critical to characterize brain correlates of healthy (or "normative") development in order to  accelerate our understanding of mechanisms of atypical development. Our lab seeks to capture patterns of learning and cognition associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD),  intellectual disability (ID), and social anxiety disorder (SAD). We evaluate possible factors -- including genetic etiology with a focus on deleterious mutations and specific connections to individual (behavioral) differences.
  • Prospective postdoctoral scholars: I am looking to hire postdoctoral scholars across a variety of areas. Contact me for more information!
  • Prospective graduate students for Fall 2023: Yes, I am taking graduate applicants! I am specifically looking for students interested in the Cognitive and Neural Sciences program at UofSC.  However, I may be able to take students in the Clinical & Community area.
Fun facts: You often will find me at a coffee shop or out in the woods with my bike. 

Graduate student: Rebecca Revilla, M.A. ​(she/her)

Current Position: Clinical-Community Psychology Ph.D. student
Education: ​
  • University of Texas at San Antonio, B.A. (2018, Psychology)
  • University of Alabama, M.A. (2022, Clinical Psychology)
Research interests: Rebecca is interested in using a multi-method, multi-level approach to understand developmental trajectories of antisocial and prosocial behavior from infancy until emerging adulthood. Her ultimate goal is to inform community-based prevention and early intervention efforts.
​Fun facts:  Rebecca enjoys outdoor activities in nature (e.g., hiking, kayaking), live music, thrift shopping, and trying/cooking new food!
