Tammy Tran PhD

Tammy is an incoming assistant professor in the department of Psychology at Georgia Institute of Technology. She completed her B.S. from the University of Texas at Austin and her PhD from Johns Hopkins University in the laboratories of Michela Gallagher and Arnold Bakker (School of Medicine).

Her postdoctoral training was under the direction of Anthony Wagner and Elizabeth Mormino (School of Medicine) at Stanford. She will join as an independent investigator at Georgia Institute of Technology in the fall of 2025.

Tammy is broadly interested in the mechanisms that underlie memory variability across the lifespan, with a particular interest in real-world contributors to memory (e.g., spatial context, stress, attention).

Miri
Lab Mascot

Miri is a 6-month rescue puppy who loves people, food and other puppies. She is very eager to learn and explore all of the parks and green spaces that Atlanta has to offer. In her spare time, she likes lush green grass, pets, and banana flavored treats (in that order).

We are looking for more people to join the team!

If you are passionate about memory and context, we are recruiting motivated PhD students and a research technician to start in the fall of 2025.
