Profile
Aislinn Sandre, Ph.D., is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Western University, beginning in January 2025. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from McGill University and completed her postdoctoral training at Teachers College, Columbia University. Dr. Sandre’s research focuses on identifying developmental pathways to psychopathology, with an emphasis on depression and anxiety. She is particularly interested in understanding how people process affective information throughout development, how alterations in affective processing emerge through familial and environmental influences, and how these alterations contribute to the development of psychopathology. Another area of interest involves exploring the extent to which interventions targeting family and environmental factors (e.g., stress) can modify affective processing to reduce risk for psychopathology. Dr. Sandre primarily uses EEG to measure neural processing of affective information (e.g., emotional faces, rewards, and threats) across the lifespan, including in infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Her work also incorporates laboratory-based tasks, structured diagnostic interviews, and observational measures of parent-child interactions and affective functioning.
Dr. Sandre will be recruiting a graduate student for Fall 2025 admission.
