About
Justin received his B.A. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, where he studied human memory control under the supervision of Michael C. Anderson. Following a postdoctoral fellowship in Ken Norman’s Computational Memory Lab at Princeton University, Justin joined the psychology faculty at Bard College and established the Memory Dynamics Lab in 2015 before moving to Bates College in 2024. Justin and his team of enthusiastic undergraduates aim to harness strategies to better remember what we wish to remember and forget what we wish to forget—even while we sleep.
