Kate Petrova
Ph.D. Student in Psychology, admitted Autumn 2021
Research Asst - Graduate, PsychologyBioKate Petrova is a first-year PhD student at the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory. Her research encompasses two broad domains: basic questions about the nature of emotion as well as applied research at the intersection of affective science and social psychology. Her current interests include how different ways of paying attention to and labeling affective experiences shape emotion regulation. She is also curious about how people regulate their own and others’ emotions in naturalistic social interactions. Kate’s other interests include empathic processes in virtual communication, lay theories of emotion, and the development of emotion regulation across the lifespan. Kate earned her A.B. in Psychology from Bryn Mawr College and spent several years working on the Harvard Study of Adult Development before joining SPL.

Beatriz Pousada
Ph.D. Student in Economics, admitted Autumn 2017
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research leverages natural experiments to evaluate labor market policies to provide causal evidence that could help policymakers decide on policies to increase workers' welfare. I currently have two main research agendas. The first one focuses on policies aimed at low-wage workers. For instance, my job market paper estimates the impact of the minimum wage on outsourced cleaning workers. My second research agenda focuses on the impact of immigration policy on the host country’s labor market.
