As Director of the Research Support Core at the Center for Healthy Minds, Robin leads a team of technical folk who, together, provide a foundation for rigorous, innovative and collaborative science. She provides general direction, support and guidance for research projects, as well as to graduate students, post-docs and junior scientists. In addition, she contributes to strategic planning and implementation, heads development and management of scientific resources and helps bring CHM’s scientific findings to the general public.
Robin thrives on collaborative research and is a part of much of the research examining brain-mind-body-community-planetary connections to health and wellbeing unfolding at CHM. She is also a part of a long-term multi-institution collaboration using novel techniques for combining electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to improve treatment for depression.
In addition to her scientific work, Robin trained in Clinical Pastoral Education with the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care and has worked as an interfaith chaplain in a number of New York City hospitals.
