Zina,Trost,Associate Professor,"My research interests fall into three broad, overlapping categories:
1) First, I am interested in cognitive, affective, and behavioral actors that may contribute to development of chronic pain/disability or facilitate positive adjustment following physical injury. Currently my work focuses on the role of perceptions of injustice regarding one's pain, injury, or circumstance. I am especially interested in the intersection of injustice perceptions with larger societal inequities, such as discrimination.
2) Second, I am interested in how we understand the pain and suffering of others, and in particular whether individuals (e.g., healthcare providers) may make decisions based on unconscious bias regarding patient characteristics, such as gender, weight, or race.
3) Finally, my work applies emerging virtual technologies to pressing issues in chronic pain, disability, and rehabilitation, including the above issues. My currently funded research employs a ""virtual walking"" paradigm to alleviate chronic neuropathic pain in individuals with spinal cord injury. We are also using haptic virtual reality to restore touch perception among individuals with 'discomplete' SCI. These are Department of Defense-funded international and multisite projects.",Associate Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0bcc8790

Vani,Mathur,Assistant Professor,"My work focuses on understanding the sources of disparities in pain, and the specific mechanisms by which social and cultural factors alter pain experience and pain physiology. My research targets the problem of pain disparities from two directions - investigating the different ways social factors may influence one's own pain, and also alter pain perception and empathy for others. To tackle these problems, my lab utilizes behavioral, psychophysical, and neuroimaging methodologies. I am also interested in individual differences in chronic pain and pain modulation, cross-cultural examinations of pain and empathy, and social environmental effects on health broadly defined.",Faculty Fellow||Assistant Professor||Faculty Affiliate||Training Faculty,Center for Health Systems and Design||Center for Population Health and Aging||Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience||Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n40fc0470

Anka,Vujanovic,Professor,"My research program is focused on understanding the complexity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and some of its most prevalent and high-risk correlates, including substance use disorders (SUD) and suicide risk, through the study of underlying psychological mechanisms relevant to treatment development. My work is comprised of interrelated lines of inquiry: (1) investigation of psychological and behavioral processes relevant to the etiology and maintenance of (a) PTSD symptoms and (b) PTSD/SUD; (2) examination of suicide risk among trauma-exposed populations; and (3) development of theoretically and empirically driven, novel interventions for PTSD and co-occurring conditions that target the psychological mechanisms isolated in more basic research. I have utilized various methodological approaches, including clinical trials, longitudinal methods, ecological momentary assessment, and experimental laboratory paradigms. My team's studies have been conducted in academic clinical research centers, first responder departments, medical and mental health clinics, and acute-care psychiatric inpatient hospitals. My work encompasses populations exposed to diverse types of trauma, including sexual trauma survivors, military veterans, first responders, and human trafficking survivors.",Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n52936a5b
Stephen,Maren,University Distinguished Professor,"My research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying emotional learning and memory in animals and the relevance of these mechanisms to clinical disorders of fear and anxiety, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).",Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n606b4fd1
Paul,Wellman,Professor,I maintain several research areas within behavioral pharmacology. My current research focus is on the interactions between feeding control systems (i.e. ghrelin) and the reinforcing actions of drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine. My research has been funded by NIDA and by corporate sponsors such as Thompson Medical Company and Knoll Pharmaceutical.,Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n67571474
Jyotsna,Vaid,Professor,"I have three lines of research: 1) cognitive and brain bases of knowing multiple languages, 2) the processing of creative language, e.g., jokes, proverbs, metaphors, idioms, and 3) gender and race in relation to indicators of professional recognition and visibility in academia.",Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n7b74aa66

Olabisi,Atoba,Instructional Assistant Professor,"Bisi Atoba's research focuses primarily on areas that contribute to employee well-being and the optimal performance of organizations. Her research activities include work teams, leadership, training, and positive work psychology. These endeavors have practical implications for organizations due to the increasing complexity and competition that they encounter which results in their heavy reliance on teams, effective leadership, strategic training, and corporate social responsibility. Concerning teaching, Bisi recognizes that education is a privilege and not a routine expectation. Hence, she adopts an instructional style that empowers students to take an active role in their learning.",Instructional Assistant Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nd94f241e
Allegra,Midgette,Assistant Professor,"Dr. Midgette's research investigates the origins and social processes that support individuals in developing an understanding of justice and learning how to care for others in an inequitable and unjust world. Her work addresses two key questions: How do we come to care about each other and about justice within the family? How do we become just in the face of inequality?
To investigate these questions, Dr. Midgette employs a mixed methodology that places the experiential reality of children and their families at the forefront. The long-term goal of her work is to characterize how cultural, societal, and family practice influence individual moral development, with the ultimate aim of supporting the creation of interventions that contribute to individuals' development into more caring and just individuals.",Assistant Professor,Psychological and Brain Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nfee0fd19
