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

Nathan,Hawk,Clinical Assistant Professor,"My research generally aligns at the intersection of technology integration, student use of technology, and social-emotional learning. First, I am interested in examining self-beliefs such as attitudes about technology, values beliefs about technology and similar self-perceptions such as self-efficacy more contextualized. In this research, I am curious how self beliefs influence whether and to what extent teachers integrate technology or students use technology. Second, my primary research interest is to explore how various self-efficacy beliefs influence mathematics achievement among the at-risk online charter high school populations. Although the link between at-risk factors and performance has been readily studied, understanding the unique contribution of self-efficacy and self-regulated learning among these students is still underdeveloped.

Bjorn,Bangstein,Associate Professor of the Practice,"Dr. Bangstein's dissertation research is related to the retention rate of Texas A&M University engineering academies students. The study aims to understand why the first-year retention rate is consistently lower for engineering academies students than for on-campus students. Retention is a complex phenomenon, and research shows that cognitive and affective factors impact students' decisions to stay or leave college. For this study, a correlational design is used. The study argues that affective factors such as students' belongingness to the classroom, community, or institution are associated with persistence and affect retention.",Associate Professor of the Practice||Faculty Affiliate,College of Engineering||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n9c10f872

Karienn,Souza (Montgomery),Research Assistant Professor,"My research focuses on developing neuronal and behavioral models of mild cognitive impairment and early stages of Alzheimer's' Disease. AD is complex and multifaceted, and my goal is to uncover early aspects of the disease pathway in hopes of achieving prevention of further decline.
One aspect of the pathway that is promising in terms of resulting in a successful treatment for AD is to treat the loss of functional synapses. Loss of plasticity and synaptic transmission is one of the earliest hallmarks of AD and one of the best correlates of cognitive dysfunction in aging. It is virtually impossible for this to be studied in humans, and thus little progress has been made in developing therapeutics to resurrect synaptic function. We have developed a mouse model of age-related cognitive impairment in which we can use light (optogenetics) in order to uncover the faulty synaptic mechanisms that promote cognitive dysfunction observed in aging and early AD.",Postdoctoral Research Associate||Research Assistant Professor||Director of NExT Behavior Core,The Texas A&M University System||Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics||Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nc5b013b5
