Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioI am a Wu Tsai Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholar, working in collaboration with Dr. Russell Poldrack and Dr. Scott Linderman.
I have a background in cognitive and computational psychology, with a PhD in Neuroscience from McGill University and an MA in Developmental Psychology from Cornell University.
Currently, my research focuses on expanding our statistical toolkit for drawing inferences from high-dimensional, naturalistic datasets measured with modalities such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). To do this, I am developing new methods and accompanying open source tools. -
Chiara Gasteiger
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioChiara Gasteiger, P.h.D. is a SPARQ Postdoctoral Scholar in the Mind & Body Lab, led by Associate Professor Alia Crum. Chiara's doctoral thesis explored how the transition to biosimilars can be improved, with a focus on optimising patient-practitioner communication and the involvement of companions (support people).
Chiara’s research aims to understand how the social environment influences the development of mindsets and how psycho-social forces can be harnessed to optimise people's mindsets about illness and improve health outcomes. She is also interested in understanding how changes in subjective mindsets can alter physiological mechanisms. Her other academic interests include patient-practitioner communication, patient expectations, funding and resource allocation in health and understanding how patients utilise social networks to cope with, manage and make sense of their illness.
Chiara is not currently available to supervise graduate students. Please contact the Mind & Body Lab manager, Jesse Barrera, for enquires about joining the lab. -
