Srishti is a sixth-year graduate student interested in developing a comprehensive understanding of how people infer other’s emotions in everyday lives. She uses computational and behavioral methods to explore how individuals utilize cues in emotion inferences and how knowledge and complexity of situation perception relate to this skill. She holds an MA in psychology from University of Chicago, where she worked closely with Dr. Daniel Casasanto, exploring how bodily relativity influences our experience and perception of emotional valence. After graduation, she worked on numerous projects at the intersection of emotions and neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill under the supervision of Dr. Sheridan and Dr. Kristen Lindquist. In her free time, Srishti loves to travel, read books, spend time with family and friends, and play various sports occasionally.
