Bio

Jennifer Bruder is an associate teaching professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar where she teaches a variety of courses related to cognition, neurobiology, and research methods.

Her current research interests include two vastly different topics: the first pertains to neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism and dyslexia, and the second revolves around efforts to characterize and describe the issues important to environmental and sustainable psychology in Qatar and the Gulf region.
