About us
Childhood and adolescence are periods of rapid learning and brain maturation. During these stages, individuals are particularly open to experiences that can support or undermine the development of social, emotional, and cognitive skills that are crucial for well-being and success across life. In the Biobehavioral Adjustment and Neurodevelopment (BAND) Lab, our research focuses on building and testing developmental models that explain individual differences in risk, resilience, and thriving. These models consider environmental factors such as close relationships and stressful events, as well as biological factors like brain function and structure. We are interested in the development of prosocial emotions and actions, but also early indicators of risk for psychopathology. Our research uses techniques from developmental psychology and neuroscience (e.g., non-invasive neuroimaging).
Our DEI Commitment
As stated by the UConn Psychology Department, we encourage respect and diversity and all aspects of our work and strive to use the power of science as a tool for the public good.
