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 controlled trial of a parenting intervention for new mothers receiving medication for opioid-use disorder.
Emma received her M.S. At Northeastern in 2024 after successfully defending her Master’s Thesis on “Longitudinal Effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on Infant Visual Neurodevelopment.”
In her research, Emma uses EEG and MRI to better understand how the perinatal environment shapes early neuroplasticity mechanisms, giving rise to individual differences in the brain and behavior. Outside of research, Emma loves cuddling with her cat Ziggy, crafting, and exploring Boston.
