Our Team
Yael Millgram
Lab Director
I am an assistant professor at the School of Psychological Sciences at Tel Aviv University. I received my PhD in clinical psychology from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and completed my post-doctoral studies at Harvard University.
My research focuses on understanding how emotions, and emotion related processes, can lead to the development or maintenance of psychopathology. I’m specifically interested in how processes like identifying the cause of emotions, or being motivated to experience certain emotions, can affect clinical conditions like Mood Disorders, suicide and self-harm. In my work I integrate methods from affective and clinical science, including experimental and longitudinal designs, Ecological Momentary Assessments, clinical evaluations, and big data analysis
