		Name: Agatha Trindade Email: agatha.trindade@tufts.edu Area of Study: Advisor: Klaus Miczek, Ph.D.
		Name: Michael VanElzakker Email: michael.vanelzakker@tufts.edu Area of Study: Experimental Clinical Neuroimaging Advisor: Lisa Shin, Ph.D. Background: I graduated magna cum laude from CU-Boulder with a bachelor's in psychology. I then worked at a nonprofit shelter for homeless teenagers for several years before returning to CU to manage the stress neuroendocrinology lab there, studying rodent HPA axis function and physiology while earning my master's in behavioral neuroscience. Current Research: I am interested in why people with PTSD have trouble concentrating. Historically, research into this symptom has been done using trauma-relevant stimuli (e.g. pictures of fire are distracting to burn victims). I am using non-valent stimuli in various attentional paradigms in an attempt to learn the extent to which attentional circuits have been more fundamentally affected by psychological trauma and/or chronic PTSD. The hope is that this will lead to more effective cognitive therapy strategies for traumatized people. I am also interested in comorbid PTSD and post-concussive disorder. Future Plans: Checking a few items off my "to do" list tomorrow.
