Laura Germine is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Laboratory for Brain and Cognitive Health Technology at McLean Hospital. She is also Technical Director of the McLean Institute for Technology in Psychiatry. She earned a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley in 2004, a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychopathology from Harvard University in 2012, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Psychiatric Genetics at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Germine’s research is oriented around understanding cognitive functioning in health and disease, as well as building technology for studying cognition and behavior using the web and mobile devices. She created one of the first online neuropsychological platforms in 2005, which later became TestMyBrain.org. Through TestMyBrain.org, her lab has collected data from 2.8 million participants around the globe. In April 2020, Dr. Germine’s group also released the TMB Digital Neuropsychology Toolkit as a resource for researchers and clinicians during Covid, with over 1200 registered users. In addition to her role as lab director, Dr. Germine is also President of the Many Brains Project, a nonprofit 501c3 that supports digital cognitive assessment.

Liz Grinspoon is the Data Scientist for the Laboratory for Brain and Cognitive Health Technology at McLean Hospital. She earned her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Manufacturing Engineering from Boston University.

Dr. Grinspoon has worked at a number of software companies including Oracle, i2 Technologies (acquired by JDA), Blue Agave Software (acquired by i2 Technologies), Dell, having a variety of roles and responsibilities including software engineering, technical consulting, and software system architecting.

Paolo Martini is a visual psychophysicist and software engineer who serves as a staff scientist and developer for TestMyBrain.org. He is interested in the measurement of human cognition and behavior using the web and mobile devices.  He has a PhD from Harvard University.

Roger is a postdoctoral research fellow using web-based assessment to investigate how physical and mental health conditions impact cognition, mood, and behavior. He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Harvard University. Roger’s research interests include understanding attentional processing (the process of prioritizing important information), as well as using simulation techniques to optimize experimental design.

Shifali Singh is a Licensed Neuropsychologist and Director of the Digital Cognitive Research Program at BaCH Tech Lab/Institute for Technology in Psychiatry at McLean Hospital. She completed her undergraduate training in neuroscience and biomedical research at UCLA. Dr. Singh then attended Illinois Institute of Technology, during which she received specialized clinical training at NorthShore University HealthSystem, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Chicago Medicine. She completed her clinical neuropsychology residency at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Singh’s research and clinical work focuses on the intersection of technology and neuropsychology, with a particular emphasis on developing, validating, and implementing digital tools that may be used to modernize neuropsychological evaluations.

Zoë Hawks is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Laboratory for Brain and Cognitive Health Technology at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School. She received her B.S. in Biopsychology, Cognition, & Neuroscience from the University of Michigan and her Ph.D. in Psychological & Brain Sciences from Washington University in St. Louis. Zoë’s research uses digital technology to dynamically assess behavior and cognition, with an eye towards identifying intra-individual processes that exacerbate or maintain psychopathology.

Frances Li is the lab manager for the Bach Tech Lab. She earned her master’s in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and her bachelor’s in Psychology as well as Education from the University of California Irvine. She is passionate about researching how childhood adversity predicts change in cognition and behaviors and applying this knowledge to support children and caregivers.

Laneé Jung is a research data analyst for the Bach Tech Lab. She graduated from Smith College with a degree in Economics and Chemistry.
