POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS

Sophia Thierry

Postdoctoral Researcher

Sophia Thierry is a postdoctoral researcher co-supervised by Dr. Kathleen Corriveau at Boston University and Dr. Jessica Sommerville at the University of Toronto. She lives in Canada. Her research focuses on how children form first impressions from faces (e.g., impressions of niceness and intelligence) and use these impressions to guide social decisions, such as whom to trust. One of her new projects in the lab is examining perceptions of AI-generated faces, specifically how parents and children judge whether faces depict real people or are AI-generated. In her free time, she enjoys playing piano and swimming!
