Dr. Stephen Mitroff
Principal Investigator Steve Mitroff is the lab director. He received his B.A. from UC Berkeley in 1998 and his Ph.D. from Harvard in 2002. After a postdoc position at Yale, he spent 10 years as a faculty member at Duke. He joined the Psychology department at GW in 2015. (CV) |

Dr. Patrick Cox
Postdoctoral Fellow Patrick completed a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Cognitive Science from Georgetown University in 2008. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the same institution in Max Riesnhuber's Lab for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience. In August of 2017, Patrick began his postdoc at GW with the aim of using "big data" approaches to study the effect of training and experience on object categorization and visual search. patrickhcox.weebly.com/ |

Samoni Nag
Ph.D. Student Samoni is a fourth-year doctoral student in Cognitive Neuroscience program. She graduated from Emory University in 2016, double majoring in Psychology and Human Health. Afterwards, she worked as a lab manager in Julie Golomb's lab at The Ohio State University. Samoni's research interests include visual attention, applied visual search, and the influences of selection history on search strategies. |

Emma Siritzky
Ph.D. Student Emma is a first-year doctoral student in the Cognitive Neuroscience program. She received her undergraduate degree in 2020 from Elon University, where she majored in Psychology. Emma’s research interests are focused on individual and age-related differences in visual attention and memory. She is currently studying the impact of individual differences in associative memory function on visual attention and implicit learning in visual search tasks. |

Sydni Nadler
Undergraduate student Sydni received the prestigious Luther Rice Fellowship from GWU to examine the relationship between sleep and cognitive performance. She is currently using data from the lab to explore how research subjects tested during the pandemic compare to those tested before the pandemic began. |

Artin Yousefi
Undergraduate student Artin is an undergraduate majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience. Artin's research interests are focused on the role of individual differences in human object categorization and visual search. Currently, he is probing various biologically-inspired computational models of human visual perception and their underlying mechanistic difference in performing visual search tasks. His goal is to determine whether differences among results obtained from human visual search are explainable by the underlying mechanistic differences in those computer models |

Justin Grady
Undergraduate student Justin is a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Psychology. He is currently using data from the lab to explore the relationship between fatigue, visual search, and conscientiousness. Justin is looking at individual differences in cognitive performance that have academic and applied implications. |
