Donatello was a Research Scientist at the Spatio-Temporal Brain Imaging Laboratory at SDSU. Originally from Italy, he graduated in 2007 in Neuroscience with a joint PhD Program between Chieti University, Italy and Columbia University Medical Center in New York. He has a background in neuroscience and experience in designing, implementing, and analyzing functional and structural neuroimaging data with an emphasis on brain networks. In particular, he applies advanced brain imaging techniques such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), to study neural circuits underlying cognitive and affective functions in the context of addictive substances and brain lesions. In his spare time he enjoys going to the theater especially to watch fantasy and science fiction movies.

Joined the Spatial-Temporal Imaging Lab in 2015 and was accepted by the SDSU/UCSD JDP in Clinical Psychology. In a series of studies, Joe examined the spatio-temporal dynamics of inhibitory control in the context of attentional processing, genetic variability, risk for alcohol misuse, and alcohol challenge. He received his doctoral degree in 2023 and has been working on a postdoctoral project at UCSD.

Angeles obtained her Ph.D. in neuroscience in 2017 from the Complutense University of Madrid. She has a background in cognitive neuropsychology and neuroimaging. Her research focused on the MEG analysis applied to autism and binge drinking.

Martina was a visiting Fulbright Scholar and is currently in Psychology Dept. at the University of Zagreb, Croatian Studies.

Enrolled in the master's program at SDSU in 2017. He defended his thesis in 2020. It used fMRI and functional connectivity to examine error processing in binge drinkers.

Rebecca graduated from San Diego State University in 2017, with BA in Psychology. She was a master’s student in the department of psychology at SDSU. Her research was fMRI based and focuses on executive function, specifically cognitive flexibility and inhibition, in individuals with alcohol use disorder.

Jamie was a master’s student in the department of psychology at SDSU. After studying consciousness while obtaining her B.A. in psychology at SFSU, she has shifted her focus to executive functions of the brain, such as cognitive control. Her work was on a collaborative study between the Spatiotemporal Brain Imaging Laboratory and the Neurocognition Laboratory. This was an ERP project which investigated inhibitory control in bilingual individuals.

Laura has been a Research Specialist in the lab since 2014. Her responsibilities include recruitment/screening, MEG/MRI scanning, and data analysis/ programming. She is also a part-time graduate student at Vanderbilt University studying to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In her spare time, she enjoys taking aerial silk classes!

Denali graduated from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in 2018, with a BS in neuroscience. She was a masters student in the department of psychology at SDSU, studying neural indices of hyperexcitability in individuals with fibromyalgia as a function of pharmacological treatment.

Sophie got her BSc in Psychology in 2018 from a University of London, and was Masters Student in Psychology at SDSU, working on executive dysfunction in individuals with chronic Alcohol Use Disorder.

Sojung got her Bachelor's dual degree in Psychology in 2018 from Mississippi State University and Catholic University of Daegu, and was a Master's degree student in Psychology at SDSU. Her work focused on fMRI and functional connectivity analysis in individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder during executive functioning tasks.

Kevin is a first year masters student in the department of psychology at SDSU, studying the effects of binge drinking on white matter integrity and brain network organization. Kevin received his BS in Business Administration from SFSU in 2008 with a concentration in corporate finance. Kevin worked in the financial services sector for three years before switching over to cyber security where he remained for five years before pursuing a graduate education into psychological research. In his spare time he enjoys playing chess, perfecting his YouTube algorithm, going on international backpacking adventures, and reading philosophy.

Tyler got his BA in business administration at SDSU in 2009 and managed a research lab at UCSD for a few years before enrolling in the psychology master's program. He graduated in 2018.

Graduate student in the Neurosciences Dept at UCSD.

Siyuan got her MA in the spring of 2017. She is a recipient of the Provost's Award at the SRS, WPA Solso Award, Becky Award for the best Master's Thesis. She is a graduate student in Psychology Dept at Penn State.

Jakob was an undergraduate student at SDSU. His major was Biology and his minors were Interdisciplinary Studies and Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience. Jakob worked on the structural analysis of MRI data using the program FreeSurfer and contributed to the lab’s ongoing research on binge drinking. After graduating in Spring 2021, he hopes to attend a masters in public health program and to eventually work in medicine.

Morgan graduated from San Diego State University in May 2018 with a BA in Psychology and is applying to graduate schools.

Rifqi got his BA in psychology in May of 2018. He is a recipient of MARC scholarship, Dean's award at the SRS, and a NSF graduate award. Rifqi is now a graduate student at Boston University, Neuroscience Dept.
