Beth Rispoli (she/her) is a PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN) working with Dr. Tina Liu. Beth earned her bachelors in Cognitive Neuroscience and Product Design from Carnegie Mellon in 2020. She then completed a postbac fellowship in the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at the NIH with Dr. Chris Baker before joining Stanford in the fall of 2022 where she worked with Dr. Kalanit Grill-Spector in the Vision and Perception Neuroscience Lab.
Beth’s research interests are in the relationship between structure, organization, and function that facilitates perceptual processing and scaffolds neuroplasticity in the brain. Her research uses vision as a model system for investigating brain-behavior relationships across both healthy and clinical populations.
