I received my PhD in Psychology from Northwestern University, where I specialized in the areas of social/cultural psychology and cultural neuroscience. I completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Business School of Nanyang Technological University before joining the Division of Psychology.
My research investigates how people conceptualize and navigate relations with fellow group members (in-groups) and people belonging to other groups (out-groups) in response to environmental pressures and demands. Towards this objective, I investigate how perceived threats from the environment influence and interact with neurobiological mechanisms to shape intragroup processes (e.g., empathy, cooperation, affiliation), intergroup processes (e.g., prejudice, in-group favoritism, discrimination), as well as cultural diversity in these group processes. I am also applying my research on culture, social experience, and group processes to study the social modulation of eating behaviors, appetite, and nutritional health.
