Grace Frances DiRisio

I am a PhD student in Marlene Cohen’s lab. My interests revolve around understanding how visual and cognitive processes come together to influence our behavior. My current research focuses on our remarkable ability to remember thousands of images. How do neurons support this capacity? What coding schemes occur in visual areas that assist in encoding and remembering images? In addition to my research, I am involved with Girls Who Code, an organization that introduces the fundamentals of computer science to young girls in the local community. Outside of science, I love to bake and bike along the lake.
