Trainees
Cameron Doyle, M.A., is a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. She is interested in how emotion concepts shape the perception and neural representation of emotion. Cameron is supported by a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
Mallory Feldman is a first year Ph.D student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. She is interested in how social others scaffold basic psychophysiological processes underlying emotional experience
Joshua Jackson is a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. He is interested in the cultural evolution of emotion categories. Josh is supported by a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
Joseph Leshin is a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. He takes both a neuroscientific and social psychological approach in identifying mechanisms that give rise to individual differences in emotion experience and emotion regulation. Joseph is supported by a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
Jennifer MacCormack, M.A., is a seventh year Ph.D. student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. She is interested in bodily contributions to emotion across the age-span. Her dissertation investigates how autonomic nervous system reactivity and interoceptive ability interact with meta-cognitive beliefs to impact emotions during stress. Jenn is supported by a Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Predoctoral Fellowship to examine how the aging brain represents emotion in late life.
Holly Shablack, M.A., is a sixth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina. She is interested in how emotion words are acquired during early development and how differences in emotion word use shapes experiences and perceptions of emotion across cultures and bilingual individuals. Her dissertation investigates how access to emotion concepts alters emotion experience and physiology. Holly is supported by a Dissertation Completion Fellowship from The Graduate School.
