Bio
In his research, Diego applies a multi-modal approach that includes behavioral, pupillometry, EEG, and computational neural network modeling measures to investigate the role of early life experiences—particularly unpredictable family dynamics—on adaptive behavior engagement in response to environmental demands, and to probe the neural mechanisms underlying flexible cognitive control. Prior to joining the lab, Diego graduated from Brandeis University in 2015. He then continued research at Brown University until 2019 to study the development of executive functions and visual attention in children and adolescents. Outside of the lab, Diego enjoys weight-lifting, rock climbing, pickleball, and Brazilian jiu jitsu.
