Justine is a current second-year Ph.D. neuroscience student at Duke University. Broadly, she is interested in the intersection between neuroscience and music, including the biological and emotional underpinnings of how music and sound affect the brain. Her research interests focus on auditory processing and neural coding in the macaque auditory cortex. She entered through the Cognitive Neuroscience Admitting Program (CNAP) and is in Dr. Jennifer Groh's lab. She is supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
Prior to Duke, Justine obtained dual Bachelor's degrees in Neuroscience and Music from the University of Chicago, where she worked in Christian Hansel's lab researching the mechanisms of learning and memory. She also researched chronic pain in Chih-Cheng Chen's lab in the Institute of Biomedical Science in Taipei, Taiwan.

The Costanzo Teaching Fellows
The Costanzo Teaching Fellows are a group of carefully selected juniors and seniors who lead discussion sections for our course. They receive substantial training in teaching as part of the teaching team for Introductory Psychology (PSY 101). Teaching Fellows are paid and are also required to enroll in a 1-credit Psychology Teaching Seminar (PSY 601S, that counts toward the Psychology major) during the Fall term.
