Lan Anh (Bella) earned her B.A. in International Studies from Hanyang University, her M.A. in Educational Psychology from Yonsei University, South Korea, and her Ph.D. in Cognitive and Educational Psychology from Tufts University. While at Yonsei, she studied the effects of several learning strategies that could make learning more effective such as interleaving and retrieval practice. At Tufts, she continues examining the impacts of research-based study techniques. Further, she investigates how the benefits of such techniques, if any, may vary according to different learning environments. Currently, another focus of her research is on collaborative learning and how collaboration can foster learning in stressful contexts.

Max Ramseyer earned an M.Ed. from Harvard University, an M.T.S. from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, and a Self-Designed B.A. from Duke University, with training across psychology, neuroscience, education, and theology. He is a neuro-imaging research assistant at Mass General Brigham and a certified 3T MRI operator at the Martinos Center. At MGB, his research examined how sense of purpose in life is associated with greater cognitive resilience in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease and how hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing are differentially mapped onto the default-mode network. He also serves as an instructor of neuropsychology and statistics at Hellenic College and as a Teaching Fellow for Adult Development & the Immunity to Change courses at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. At Tufts, he aims to understand the neurobiological substrates of metacognitive and autobiographical memory processes and their link to developmental psychological transformations across the lifespan.
