Dept. Welcomes Two New Faculty
The Department of Psychology is pleased to welcome two
new faculty members: Anthony Auger, Biological Psychology; and Rick
H. Cai, Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience. Dr. Auger (PhD 1998, Univ. of
Massachusetts, Amherst) studies how steroid hormone receptors are
influenced in the brain by neurotransmitters, signal transduction
pathways, nuclear receptor coactivators, and environmental stimuli to
modulate the development or expression of reproductive behavior and
physiology. He joins us from a postdoctoral fellowship at the
University of Maryland. Dr. Cai (PhD 1998, UCLA) is a visual
psychophysicist whose interests focus on perception of location,
motion, color, and brightness. He will join us in the Fall of 2003
after completing his postdoctoral fellowship at the Vision Sciences Laboratory at Harvard University.
