Our Research Center

I performed my Ph.D training at the University of Surrey (U.K.), where I studied the neurobiological changes associated with drug addiction and relapse. I joined the University of Maryland School of Medicine as a postdoctoral research fellow and junior faculty. My research focused on the investigation of (1) sex differences and the involvement of stress hormones on maladaptive decision making and (2) the hormonal mechanisms underlying mood disorders. Following my postdoctoral training I joined the University of Cyprus as an MSCA fellow investigating the epigenetic mechanisms of hormone-related stress susceptibility. Now as an Assistant Professor at UWM, the Georgiou lab will focus on the understanding of the neuroendocrinological underpinnings of disorders associated with dysregulation of the brain reward system. In my free time I enjoy cooking, hiking and spending time with friends and family.

I am a Kansas State University graduate and a graduate student interested in behavioral neuroscience. I was previously a post-baccalaureate at the National Institutes of Health studying fear memory in mice. Outside of academia, I love to travel, dog-sit, and spend time outdoors with family and friends.

I am currently an undergraduate student completing a Neuroscience and Biology double major, with a minor in Chemistry. I'm also on the cheer team here at UWM, as well as an Advocate for the Lawton Scholarship program. After I graduate, I plan on continuing my education in the study of medicine with either an MD/DO, or an MD-PhD. When I'm not doing anything work related, I can usually be found playing a variety of instruments, spending time with loved ones, or reading a book. 

I am a current UWM undergraduate student with a double major in Neuroscience and psychology with a minor in biological sciences. I have been working in The Georgiou Lab for two years now and after graduation, I plan on furthering my education by pursuing a PhD in a neuroscience related field and look forward to understanding more about the brain and behavior. In my free time I enjoy relaxing with friends, playing basketball, and watching my favorite sports teams.
