Adrienne Wood
Principal Investigator
Beginning Fall 2019, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia. I earned my PhD in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where I studied the perception, social functions, and cultural shapers of nonverbal signals with my advisor, Paula Niedenthal. I did my postdoctoral work on social networks and collective behavior in Thalia Wheatley’s Social Systems Lab at Dartmouth College. I am a proud Kansas Citian and lover of dogs, oil painting, piano, and skiing. I tweet.
