I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
I received my PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Chicago in 2016. Broadly, my research investigates the neural mechanisms that underlie social emotional development in infancy and early childhood. To do so, I utilize MRI, EEG, and observational assessments.
My ongoing work examines how factors that are intrinsic to the individual (e.g., temperament) and early experiences shape risk for developing anxiety. These studies prioritize investigation of neural systems associated with infant attention and behavioral control.
I earned my PhD in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience from Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1 in 2023. My research investigates how early social experiences influence socio-cognitive and emotional development from infancy to early adulthood, utilizing MRI, EEG, and behavioral observations. Currently, I am exploring the relationship between resting-state fMRI and fear-of-novelty behaviors in infancy through longitudinal studies.
Sydney majored in Cognitive Studies and Child Development at Vanderbilt University, where she also worked as a research assistant in Dr. Kate Humphreys’s Stress and Early Adversity Lab. She has studied how maternal mental health and parent–child interactions may shape child development. She is interested in further exploring the importance of the pre/postnatal caregiving environment in predicting child psychopathology.
CC is the Lab Manager and a Research Associate in Dr. Filippi's Infant Brain and Behavior Lab at NYU Langone. After graduating from Cornell University in 2020, she taught Middle School in Harlem, New York for two years where she discovered a passion for mental health research and care. CC is interested in the intersection between early social emotional development and anxiety and is so excited to be a part of Dr. Filippi's team in the Infant Brain and Behavior Lab.
Aditya is a graduate student skilled in machine learning, software engineering, and data analysis. Aditya is excited to contribute as a Data Analyst to the lab's projects, which use machine learning to find early brain patterns linked to infant behavior and future social anxiety. Working under the guidance of experts like Prof. Courtney Filippi and Prof. Anderson Winkler, Aditya is helping to uncover complex brain data insights, with the goal to advance current understanding and research.
I am an undergraduate senior at NYU on the premed track majoring in Psychology and minoring in Chemistry and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. Currently, I am studying the association between self regulation/effortful control and infant brain morphometry. My career goals include attending medical school and becoming a psychiatrist specializing in anxiety and OCD. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, as well as, playing D&D and video games, especially Pokémon!
I am an undergraduate Junior at New York University majoring in Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. Because I am originally from California, I like taking the time to explore the city and my interests. My career goal is to become a forensic psychologist and work with law enforcement, but to do so I believe that I need to have a deeper understanding of child development. By working in the lab I am seeking a better understanding of infancy since our past helps shape us into the individuals we will soon become.
I am an undergraduate senior majoring in psychology at New York University. My research interests revolve around the neurodevelopment and epigenetics of anxiety, and I am planning on pursuing a psychology PhD with a focus on clinical, developmental, and neuroscience research. Working at the Infant Brain and Behavior Lab allows me to explore these interests and expand my skills to better prepare me for my future academic goal of aiding research that addresses the neural underpinnings behind anxiety and other psychopathologies.
I am an undergraduate CAMS Intern at the IBB Lab and a rising sophomore at NYU majoring in Social Work and minoring in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I am interested in learning about and observing infant brain development and the implications that can be drawn from their behavior. My current goal for the future is to become a clinical social worker, working with adolescents struggling with mood disorders and executive functioning skills. In my free time, I enjoy connecting with friends and family, eating, and being in the sun! I am looking forward to growing from this internship and from all that the IBB Lab team has to teach me!
Amanda graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S in Psychology. She is interested in exploring how parent-child relationships impact the development of anxiety during infancy and early childhood. Throughout her education at PSU she was an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar’s Cognition, Affect, and Temperament Lab. Amanda worked as a full-time research associate in Dr. Filippi’s lab from 2023-2024.
Renee received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Economics at New York University. In the lab, she focused on examining the association between infant brain connectivity, brain anatomy, and behavioral inhibition. Renee strove to gain a deeper understanding of the cross-section of cognitive neuroscience, child development, and clinical psychology. Renee worked as an undergraduate volunteer in the lab from 2023-2024.
Gabrielle Sadinoff attended NYU Gallatin and majored in Child Development. Her research interests include the effects of maternal anxiety on child development and the assessment and treatment of anxiety in preschool and elementary-aged children. Gabrielle was an undergraduate volunteer in the IBB Lab Summer of 2023.
