About me
Nalini Ambady, Professor, Stanford University, received her
Ph.D. in social psychology from Harvard University and taught at
Holy Cross College, Harvard University, where she was the John and
Ruth Hazel Associate Professor of the Social Science, and Tufts
University, where she was the Neubauer Faculty Fellow and Professor,
before moving to Stanford University in 2011. Her research interests
focus on the accuracy of social, emotional, and perceptual
judgments, how personal and social identities affect cognition and
performance, nonverbal and cross-cultural communication, and social
and cultural neuroscience. She examines these phenomena from
multiple perspectives ranging from the biological to the
sociocultural. She is the recipient of the Presidential Early
Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (1999), the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, Behavioral Science
Research Award (1993), and the APA Division 5 (Evaluation,
Measurement, & Statistics) Dissertation Award (1994). She was also
selected to deliver the Frederick Howell Lewis Distinguished
Lecture, American Psychological Association Convention (2004).
