We are delighted to have a diverse staff of scientists, clinicians, trainees, and research support personnel. This month, the Brain Injury Neuropsychology Laboratory, directed by Amanda Rabinowitz, PhD, welcomed three new research assistants, McKenzie Buszkiewic, Dennis Tirri, and Julia Witkowski, who will work on a variety of projects in the lab.
McKenzie Buszkiewic graduated with honors from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) where she majored in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience and minored in human developmental sciences. As an undergraduate student, Ms. Buszkiewic worked as a research intern in the Neural Engineering and Translation Lab at UCSD. Her research there examined the relationships between neurocognition and mental health using electroencephalography (EEG). Ms. Buszkiewic will be working with Dr. Rabinowitz on a project for the Moss Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System as well as with Umesh Venkatesan, PhD, Director of the Brain Trauma and Behavior Laboratory.
