معرفی
Dr. Cameron Ellis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. He leads the Scaffolding of Cognition Team, exploring the cognitive foundations of infancy through neuroscience and cognitive science methods, particularly fMRI with awake infants. His work focuses on understanding how infants perceive, learn, and remember, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research.
Education:
- PhD in Psychology, Yale University (2021)
- MA in Psychology, Princeton University (2017)
- B.S. (Hons) in Psychology, Auckland University (2013)
Research Interests: Dr. Ellis investigates developmental approaches to cognition, learning mechanisms, neuroimaging techniques (e.g., fMRI), and visual perception in infants. His team studies plasticity in early childhood, self-regulation processes, and vision science, leveraging cutting-edge methodologies to uncover neural mechanisms underlying infant cognition.
Awards:
- FLUX Dissertation Prize (2021)
- James Grossman Dissertation Prize (2021)
- William Kessen Teaching Award (2019)
