Alisa Zoltowski

Alisa Zoltowski is a Ph.D. student in the neuroscience program. She received a double B.S. in Biospsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience (BCN), and Statistics from the University of Michigan and worked as a research assistant at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Center for Autism Research before joining the lab. She is a triplet inspired by her brother with autism to better understand neural mechanisms of sensory processing differences in those with autism, particularly somatosensory, internal processing, and pain. Ultimately, she hopes that her research on these mechanisms will have translational potential to better inform treatments and supports for individuals with sensory processing difficulties.
