Elizabeth Clark-Polner, PhD

I'm a social neuroscientist and Post-Doctoral Fellow at Yale Law School. My work focuses on the relationship between emotion, perception, economics, and decision-making, using functional neuroimaging, behavioral science, machine learning and computational modeling. The goal of this research is to further elucidate the socioeconomic and biological determinants of behavior, and to explore how this knowledge can inform our understanding and design of institutions and public policy - in particular in the context of criminal justice. Outside of work, I'm a reservist in the United States Navy, an auxiliary officer with the New York City Police Department, and a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program on artificial intelligence.
