Kelly Goedert, PhD
Senior Research Coordinator, Center for Technology and Behavioral Health, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
As Senior Research Coordinator on the Open Recordings team at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health, Kelly brings two decades of experience in program evaluation, cognitive psychology, and rehabilitation neuroscience. She is dedicated to applying rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods, advanced statistical techniques, and data visualization to drive improvements in healthcare, mental health, education, and social services.
Before joining Dartmouth, Kelly spent 20 years on the faculty at Seton Hall University, most recently serving as Professor of Psychology and Data Analytics. She holds a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Virginia and an MS in Applied Experimental Psychology from Western Kentucky University. Her research has spanned cognitive aging, causal inference, and attentional biases in neurologically healthy and post-stroke populations. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH), and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (DOE).
