Gathering data and crafting stories to showcase anti-violence coalition impact ($)

Monday, November 24, 2025
This fellow will conduct interviews with current Anti-Violence Coalition (AVC) members to understand their experiences, motivations, and contributions. They will also engage in document analysis to review and synthesize existing materials produced by the AVC, including reports, meeting notes, and communications, to deepen their understanding of the coalition’s accomplishments and context. Using insights from both interviews and document analysis, the fellow will craft compelling narratives that highlight the group’s efforts and successes. These stories will be used to elevate awareness, foster engagement, and celebrate the coalition’s role in advancing anti-violence initiatives across campus and the broader community.

Cognitive Neuroscience of Human Executive Function

Monday, November 3, 2025
The Hwang lab conducts research to understand the neural mechanisms of executive functions. Specifically, we are interested in discovering the neural architecture, processes, and dynamic systems that allow brain networks to select, inhibit, transfer, and integrate information. Together, these mechanisms support many important mental functions, such as attention, working memory, response selection and inhibition. We address our research questions with a comprehensive human neuroscience approach, combining multimodal research methodologies, including fMRI, EEG, TMS, eye tracking and behavioral testing.
