Our Team
The team at the POP Lab, led by Aparna Nadig, is made up of research assistants, undergraduate research project students, masters and doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows all passionate about language development, social communication, and social interaction in the neurotypical population as well as those on the autism spectrum, and the social inclusion of people on the autism spectrum.
We support Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
