FACULTY - O. Evren Guler
Assistant Professor
Evren Güler received her Ph.D. in developmental psychology in 2007 from the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota, under the supervision of Dr. Patricia Bauer. Her dissertation focused on the development and cognitive correlates of autobiographical memory in young children. From 2007-2011, she was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Neurobehavioral Development at the University of Minnesota, under the mentorship of Dr. Kathleen Thomas. During her fellowship, her focus was on using pediatric neuroimaging techniques to gain insight into the development of memory and the role of experience in shaping brain structure and function. She is interested in studying cognitive, neurobiological and social processes underlying memory development and is dedicated to working with Augsburg students towards this goal.
