Fall 2024 Undergraduate Research Assistants

Research in the EMMA Lab gets done thanks to the excellence and dedication of our undergraduate research assistants. Many of our former students go on to exciting careers in industry or grad school, and we are thrilled to have been a part of their educational background. Our current research assistants are featured below.

Floria Amalan

My name is Floria, and I’m a senior majoring in biology with a minor in psychology. I’m passionate about pursuing a career in healthcare, with potential specialties in gynecology, pediatrics, or surgery. Fascinated by the complexities of human biology, I’m actively involved in immunology research on campus to expand my knowledge. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, painting, singing, and listening to music.

Lily Lorenz

I’m a senior at UML studying clinical psychology. I’m planning to go on to grad school to get a masters in social work. I hope to use my degree to work towards solving the addiction crisis. I want to help those who are struggling with addiction to rebuild their lives.

Niels Dickson

I am a Psychology major with French and Math minors. I started working in the EMMA lab last semester and have enjoyed being a part of motivated research groups interested in memory and attention. I am hoping to attend graduate school after graduating and continue psychology research at a university.

Alise Maltsev

Hello! My name is Alise Maltsev, and I am currently a senior at Umass Lowell. I am a double major, Criminal Justice and Psychology, with a minor in Legal Studies. I have been always curious about why people do the things they do. That curiosity goes hand-in-hand on how I could do my part to help. Mental health, the law, and our brains are all intertwined one way or another and it's always been fascinating to me. In my free time, I am one of the captains on the Club Field Hockey team and the vice president of the CJ Society

Calantha Mohanraj

Hi, I'm Calantha Mohanraj, majoring in Computer Science with a focus on data science and minoring in psychology. Psychology is truly fascinating, as it delves into how people think, perceive, remember, solve problems, and make decisions. It's captivating to understand how the brain interprets and responds to the world around us. In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in an active state of unconsciousnes.
