Paul C. Bogdan

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke University, working with Roberto Cabeza and Simon Davis. My current research focuses on the neural correlates of memory, reasoning, and aging. As part of my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, I also conducted studies on behavioral economics, social cognition, and emotion processing. Long-term, I am interested in clarifying how these different mechanisms coalesce and make up a common cognitive architecture.

My work primarily uses fMRI and behavioral techniques. Generally, I am interested in statistics, computatinal modeling, and the development of new analytical methodologies.

In my personal life, I enjoy sports. My favorite teams are the hopeless Chicago Bears along with the hopeful Illini basketball team. I also like leisurely data science projects. For the most notable ones, I freelanced two FanSided articles on sports fan valence after wins/losses, and I was interviewed by New York about one of my election modeling projects.
