Melanie has joined the lab! We look forward to working her.

Meet Melanie!

She brings a unique blend of international experience and curiosity about the human mind. After earning her B.A. in Psychology from Universidad Iberoamericana in the Dominican Republic, she went on to complete an M.S. in Applied Cognitive Science at Michigan Technological University.

Melanie has worked with people across the lifespan—from children with and without disabilities to older adults—always driven by a passion for understanding how we think, learn, and remember. In the lab, she uses tools like EEG and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore brain activity and uncover how cognitive processes change over time.

We’re excited to have her on the team!
