Assistant Professor of Psychology Vincent Corbo, Ph.D., brings with him many years of teaching experience. he joins the Psychology Department having served as a teaching assistant or guest lecturer at prestigious schools including McGill University and Harvard University. Dr. Corbo has spent over a decade giving lectures and presentations at a variety of conferences, with topics ranging from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to Sex-Specific predictors of pain. He has published peer-reviewed articles in many scholarly journals and has multiple manuscripts in preparation and/or review. He has even published a number of textbook chapters in relevant subjects. Dr. Corbo earned his Ph.D. through an Integrated Program in Neuroscience from McGill University, the same school where he earned his M.S. in Psychiatry. He is currently in the process of completing a postdoctoral fellowship through the Translational Research Center for Traumatic Brain Injury and Stress Disorders in the Boston University School of Medicine.

2006 - Ph.D., Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology)

University of Arizona

Research in the MINDSET Lab is focused on understanding the chronic effects of brain injury and psychological stress on the human brain and health outcomes. We use neuroscience tools such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) including structural T1-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and fMRI to examine potential links between trauma and neurodegenerative disease. In addition, a primary focus in the lab is to investigate the neural correlates of cognitive processes such as memory and attention, social and emotional processes. We also examine how genetic and epigenetic factors moderate outcomes after injury and through the aging process. Our research investigates the long-term consequences of injury to the brain, including links to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and interactions with mental health disorders.

Research Interests: Trauma, PTSD, Memory, TBI, Emotion-Cognition Interactions

Dr. Hayes graduated from Skidmore College (Biology, Psychology) and completed his doctoral work in Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology) at the University of Arizona. He completed his NRSA-funded cognitive neuroscience-clinical neuropsychology postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University and the Bryan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Duke University Medical Center. As a Department of Veterans Affairs Career Development Awardee, Dr. Hayes worked at the Boston University Memory Disorders Research Center and served as the Associate Director for the Neuroimaging Research for Veterans Center at VA Boston Healthcare System. At Ohio State, Dr. Hayes serves as the Director of The Buckeye Brain Aging Lab (B-BAL) and receives support from The Ohio State University Chronic Brain Injury Discovery Theme. Dr. Hayes works closely with the OSU Center for Brain Health and Performance and the OSU Jameson Crane Center for Sports Medicine Institute. Using structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Dr. Hayes' research examines 1) the relationships between physical activity, fitness, cognition, and the brain, 2) the neural correlates of cognition, with an emphasis in memory, and 3) applies advanced MRI techniques to clinical populations with memory impairments (mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, medial temporal lobe amnesia).

Dr. Maksimovskiy is a cognitive neuroscientist with a research focus on positive emotions. His goal is twofold: to find out what happens in the brain when positive affect goes awry, and to identify ways in which positive emotions can boost resilience towards negative events. Dr. Maksimovskiy conducts his research in the context of two seemingly opposite psychopathological conditions: addiction (over-engagement in harmful activities) and clinical depression (withdrawal from healthy activities). He is also deeply committed to undergraduate education. He regularly teaches courses at Harvard University and his pedagogical approach has been recognized with several Distinction in Teaching awards.

2013 - Ph.D., Psychology

University of Toronto

Dr. Palombo investigates cognitive and neural factors associated with how we form and retain autobiographical memories and how this may differ across individuals. She also examines how autobiological memory influences non-mnemonic functions, with a primary focus on future imagination and decision making. Her research approach is multi-faceted; she explores these topics in healthy individuals as well as in neuropsychological (e.g., amnesia) and psychiatric populations (e.g., post traumatic stress disorder). She also uses neuroimaging methods, including MRI and fMRI.

Dr. Poole is a biomedical engineer at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center and Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. At the RADC, her primary area of research utilizes MRI and quantitative wearable devices to characterize the mechanisms of motor decline and resilience in older adults. Dr. Poole completed a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University and a postdoctoral fellowship in gerontology through the Marcus Institute for Aging Research, Boston VA Healthcare System, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She then received an institutional KL2CMeRIT award from the Harvard Catalyst to investigate the neural mechanisms contributing to fall-related risk factors. Her current NIA/NIH mentored career development award focuses on developing multi-modal biomarkers of impaired mobility.
