Marvin M. Chun, Ph.D. [vita]
Marvin employs functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and behavioral methods to
study visual attention, memory, and perception. He received his B.A. from
Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea. He earned his Ph.D. degree in 1994
from MIT, followed by an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University.
Prior to his current appointment as Professor of Psychology and the
Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program, he was an Associate Professor at
Vanderbilt University, and an Assistant Professor at Yale University. His research
has been honored with a 2006 Troland Research Award from the National
Academy of Sciences, a 2002 American Psychological Association (APA) Early
Career Award, the 2000 Chase Memorial Award from the Department of
Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University, and a 1998 APA Division 3 New
Investigator Award. His research is funded by
the NIH and NSF. He teaches Introduction to Psychology in Yale
College, and he is the year 2007 recipient of the Yale University Phi Beta
Kappa William DeVane Award for Teaching and Scholarship.
