Name:
Katherine O'Connell
Title: PhD Candiate | Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (Georgetown University)
Email: kmo52@georgetown.edu
Research Topic: Affective processes in human empathy and social behavior
Mentor: Dr. Abigail Marsh
Pubmed: See link
Bio: I am a Neuroscience PhD candidate interested in understanding how affective processes and emotions influence behavior, and how these influences play a role in the development and maintenance of clinically-relevant socioemotional traits in neurologically healthy populations and individuals who have had a stroke. I use methods including computational behavioral modeling and brain imaging to study how people respond to social and emotional events. I obtained my B.S. from The Pennsylvania State University and completed a post-baccalaureate research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health before joining the Laboratory on Social and Affective Neuroscience at Georgetown University under Dr. Abigail Marsh. I joined the TBS training program in 2017 with the long-term goal of improving outcomes and quality of life for individuals with social difficulties.
