Kathryn (Adams) Berluti, PhD

Quantitative Research and Data Science Consultant, W2 Consulting Corporation

I am a PhD student in the Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience concentration. I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University in 2016, where I majored in Psychology, with a focus in Neuroscience. I then worked as a research assistant at the Center for Neurobehavioral Research with Dr. James Blair where I studied the neural correlates of aggression and callous-unemotional traits. I currently study dysfunction in empathy and emotion processing circuitries in clinical populations.
