About me
Nalini Ambady, Professor and Neubauer Faculty Fellow at Tufts
University, received her Ph.D. in social psychology from Harvard
University and taught at Holy Cross College and Harvard University,
where she was the John and Ruth Hazel Associate Professor of the
Social Science, before moving to Tufts. Her research interests focus
on the accuracy of social, emotional, and perceptual judgments, how
personal and social identities affect cognition and performance,
nonverbal and cross-cultural communication. She examines these
phenomena from multiple perspectives ranging from the biological to
the sociocultural. She is the recipient of the Presidential Early
Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (1999), the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, Behavioral Science
Research Award (1993), and the APA Division 5 (Evaluation,
Measurement, & Statistics) Dissertation Award (1994). She was also
