Trever Ojeda
Trever (Jon on paper) Ojeda is a fourth-year PhD student in the Social Cognition Lab. In global terms, he is interested in researching facial perception, aging, and group membership. Specifically, his current interests within these areas involve exploring the influence group membership, stereotype use, and healthy aging have on perceived information (i.e., traits, expressions). Outside of research he enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, cooking, and reading.
Hayley Liebenow
Hayley (she/they) is a third-year PhD student whose research focuses on stereotype and prejudice formation. She is currently interested in investigating how gender stereotypes are perpetuated through face perception and trait inferences. In her free time, she loves roller skating at the skatepark, trying new coffee shops, and bullet journaling.
