Liz Lapidow
Research Interests
I investigate how learners seek to figure out the world around them by taking actions and considering possibilities. My research examines how children (and adults) learn and reason about causal systems and how learners make decisions during exploration. By integrating cognitive development with ideas from philosophy and computational modeling, I aim to better understand the spontaneous (and sometimes puzzling) behavior of human learners."

Effie Pereira
Research Interests
My research program studies the moment-to-moment ebbs and flows and fluctuations in cognitive processes over time to better understand the temporal dynamics of human cognition. By bridging together behavioural, psychophysiological, computational, and neuroimaging methods, I have studied temporal dynamics within attentional processes to uncover aspects of internal attention, social attention, and embedded attention. Over the years, my work has revealed that seemingly random variations in attentional patterns over time are in fact quite predictable and highly specific to each individual, advancing our fundamental understanding of the intrinsic and internal regularities that govern individual behaviour.
Anju Philip
Research Interests
My research focuses on fields of Organizational Behaviour and Leadership, specifically topics of work-life balance, social networks, and racialized employees. My current research focuses on understanding the work-life experiences of professionally employed racialized women, with a present focus on South Asian women.
I have over a decade of academic and industrial work experience. A steadfast advocate of lifelong learning, my primary career goal is to be an effective educator – to teach future professionals to ask questions, find solutions and be kind and compassionate individuals that not only thrive in the workforce but make it a better place to be! I am interested in examining the effect of instructor kindness and care in relation to overall course learning and satisfaction.
Teaching Interests
I am cross appointed to the Psychology Department and the Arts and Business Program (ARBUS). I currently teach Practical Business Skills (ARBUS 300) for the Arts and Business program. My overall teaching experience covers a variety of Organizational Behaviour and Business courses including Human Resource Management, Foundations of Leadership, International Business, Business Communications, Business Report Writing and Personal Computer Systems in Business.
In Winter 2023 I will be teaching Strategy and Program Integration (ARBUS 400), the capstone course in the Arts and Business Program.

Maksim Rudnev
Research Interests
Iam a quantitative social scientist interested in human values and social perception, their cultural variability, and data science informed by psychometrics. I have an MA in Psychology, a PhD in Sociology, and substantial training in statistics and psychometrics. I have lived and worked in three countries and have taught methods at various levels. I am looking into the determinants of values and worldviews across individuals in various countries and cultures. I believe this mystery can be unravelled through various scientific methods, which I take very seriously. This belief shapes my dual-focused research interest: understanding the substance of cultural (in)variability and the methods intrinsically linked to cross-cultural inference.
