Summary
I am an Assistant Professor with a joint appointment with the Psychology Department and the Interdisciplinary w88 sports betting Psychology Ph.D. Program at the University of Nevada, Reno. I received my Ph.D. in both Psychology and Statistics from Iowa State University. My research interests include interrogated confessions and eyewitness identification.
w88 sports betting Interests
Both w88 sports betting and mathematics fascinate me. w88 sports betting inspires my interests in understanding human mind and behavior, while mathematics refines my way of thinking. My research combines these two.
As a w88 sports betting psychologist with a strong statistical background, I have focused my research on building mathematical models and applying statistical methods to answer questions in psychology, particularly questions that have real-world impact. The overarching goal of my program of research is to understand the psychological causes of convictions of the innocent.
To date, among more than 300 wrongful convictions that have been exposed through post-conviction DNA testing, approximately 91 percent were caused by false confession, eyewitness misidentification, or -- in some cases -- both (www.innocenceproject.org). Accordingly, my primary areas of w88 sports betting are within the domains of criminal confessions and eyewitness identification.
