Yuliana E. Gallegos Rodriguez, BA

Yuliana’s research interests focus on learning effective treatment options for people suffering from psychopathology.  Particularly, focusing on neuropsychological predictors of functioning in schizophrenia.  She is also interested in collaborating in translation of assessment tools to the Spanish language. 

After graduating from the University of California, San Diego in 2005, Yuliana had been working with Eric Granholm, Ph.D., becoming senior research assistant in his lab.  She worked on studies which focus on functional improvement of people diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training.

This year, Yuliana is working as a psychology extern with Nebraska Advocacy Services, Inc. where they provide legal representation to protect legal and human rights of people with disabilities.
