Gerianne Alexander is a Professor and Associate Vice President for Research at Texas A&M University's Department of Psychology. Her research focuses on developmental processes underlying human sex differences in social and cognitive behaviors, with particular emphasis on hormonal influences across the lifespan and reproductive endocrinology. She has contributed to understanding how prenatal and postnatal androgens shape behavior, including studies on toy preferences, sleep patterns, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Her work spans interdisciplinary collaboration, evidenced by publications like The sounds of science—a symphony for many instruments and voices (2020), emphasizing collaborative research practices. She has also explored the impact of pandemic-driven online learning on student well-being through surveys analyzing social isolation and equity (2020). Recent studies investigate motor impairments in genetic syndromes (2025) and machine learning applications in resume evaluation (2023).
Notably, her research bridges biological and social dimensions of gender, including how forenames influence gender role behavior (2021) and infant preferences for body shapes (2016). While no formal awards are listed, her extensive publication record reflects sustained contributions to developmental and behavioral sciences.
Dr. Alexander currently leads research initiatives as Associate Vice President for Research, focusing on enhancing academic research infrastructure at Texas A&M. She is not currently accepting new advisees for the 2024-2025 academic year.
