Meet Dr. Andrew Marshall, a postdoc working with Dr. Sean Ostlund in the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Care.
Andrew’s research interest is in the psychological and neurobiological correlates of decision-making. He is trying to find out how cues from the environment can result in individuals’ making decisions they may not normally make. Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive phenomenon across all species, and if we gather a better understanding of what drives individual differences in decision-making, then it should provide an incredible insight to why we all behave the way we do.
Andrew recently presented his work at the 2016 UCI Research Symposium with a poster presentation. He won the SEAB Basic Behavior Analysis Dissertation Award for his Ph.D. work at Kansas State University. Andrew is currently on the Career and Professional Development Team of the PDA Board, where he has co-organized the Strategies for Success in Academia: A Three Part Series.
