Past Lab Staff and Faculty
Dr. Ng completed his PhD in social psychology at the University of Virginia, and he earned his undergraduate degree in psychology and English literature, with a minor in economics, at Northwestern University. His research implements a social and cultural psychological approach to understand the psychosocial mechanisms that engender pain disparities, as well as disparities in empathy and well-being. Specifically, he is interested in how racial bias, stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination influence how others’ pain is perceived, as well as how contending with these factors exacerbates the pain experience for members of underserved and stigmatized groups. Dr. Ng currently works at UR as a visiting assistant professor!
Olivia graduated from University of Delaware in 2018 with degrees in Neuroscience (B.S.) and Biological Sciences (B.A.). She is passionate about neuroimaging and enjoys helping lab members with their projects. She is originally from Annapolis, Maryland and loves to paint her nails, play D&D, and spend time outside. Olivia starts her Cognitive Neuroscience PhD program in the Fall of 2021 at Florida International University!
Dr. Burns is currently a Senior Lecturer for the Department of Psychology at Edge Hill University.
Zach received a M. A. in Cognitive and Social Processes from Ball State University in 2016. Born in California and raised in Washington, Zach has been traveling the country in an effort to develop as an academic, and eventually obtain a Ph.D. His research interests are focused on: (A) understanding how information is cognitively represented and stored, (B) how these representations interact with perceptual processes (e.g., holistic processing, perceptual/conceptual grouping), (C) how these processes and interactions are instantiated in the brain, and (D) the role of health factors and plasticity in these processes and interactions. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. at University of Nebraska- Lincoln!
