Merike Lang

To apply my extensive research and teaching experience as a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology, with a concentration in Neuropsychology, and to bring value to an academic, education or business organization. With ten research publications to my credit, fourteen teaching assignments, over twenty conference presentations, and supervision of research projects at prominent institutions involving computerized testing of EEG brain recordings, clinical neuropsychological assessments in English and Spanish, as well as analyses of associations between cognitive task performance and depression in Alzheimer’s disease, such experience will translate to becoming an asset to any business and academic setting.
