About Us

Dr. Burman joined the Psychology Department at UNE in 2009 after getting his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 2006 under Dr. Jonathan Gewirtz and a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Delaware under Dr. Mark Stanton (2006-2008).  His faculty page can be found here.

After completing his bachelor’s degree at St. Michael’s College in Vermont, his passion for scientific discovery and the outdoors brought him back home to Maine. When he’s not in the lab researching, scheduling, and experimenting, he spends his time in the mountains.

Aishwarya is a 2nd year medical student interested in surgery.  Always on the go, when not organizing or attending fancy galas, she’s lighting up brain cells in the amygdala.  From Acton, MA originally, she has degrees from Clark University in Worcester and Tufts University in Boston.

Skyler is a wicked athlete and future scientist who is interested in both the physical and chemical affects of trauma on both the brain and body. She’d much rather scare rats than be scared by them.  Always busy, she is also a member of the UNE Women’s Lacrosse team and can be found doing homework, working out, eating, or listening to music.

With awesome hair, a killer smile and a great attitude, Randall is the newest member of the lab.  A Biddeford native, he never wants to leave and aspires to study medicine at UNECOM after graduation.  We can’t wait to see what he accomplishes.
