Biography

Sally Stoyell is a Ph.D. student in the Developmental Science program at the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Child Development. Her research focuses on structural and functional brain development, including as they relate to infant memory and cognitive development in both typically and atypically developing populations. Sally received her BS from Cornell University where she did her undergraduate thesis in a lab looking at EEG and behavioral measures of infant memory as related to iron status. Before graduate school, she worked at Massachusetts General Hospital in the Chu Lab studying the brain processes and structure behind seizures and cognitive function in infantile and childhood epilepsies.
