I current supervise three graduate students in Psychology. A list of current and former students and their affiliations are listed below.
Intelligent, highly motivated students interested in pursuing the genetic basis of complex human behavior are always invited to apply for study in my laboratory. I review applications in Psychology in both the Quantitative Methods (QM) and Brain & Cognitive Sciences (BCS) areas as well as Neuroscience. Psychology students in my lab who wish to receive Clinical training may also jointly apply to the Clinical Sciences area in Psychology, and must have a co-mentor to serve as clinical supervisor.
