Emma Margolis
Emma (she/her/hers) graduated with a B.S. in Psychology and minor in Art History from the University of Maryland in 2020. As an undergraduate, she worked in Dr. Nathan Fox’s Child Development Lab on an infant imaging study examining the neural correlates of infant temperament. Prior to joining the PINE Lab, Emma worked as a Project Coordinator in Dr. Mary Dozier’s Attachment & Biobehavioral Catch-Up Lab on a randomized control trial of a parenting intervention designed to enhance attachment and parental sensitivity for new mothers receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid-use disorder. Currently, Emma is interested in examining maternal influences on infant neurodevelopment holistically, exploring both biological and environmental pathways using techniques such as EEG and MRI. Outside of research, Emma loves cuddling with her cat Ziggy, taking care of her indoor jungle of plants, crafting, and sharing special moments with her family and friends.
