Dr. Tso is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Medical School, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychology, LSA, at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Michigan in 2012 and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry in 2013. Dr. Tso’s general research interests fall in the areas of psychopathology and affective neuroscience. Her current research program focuses on the psychological and brain mechanisms of social information processing (e.g., faces, eye gaze direction, emotion, reward) in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. She uses behavioral, brain mapping (EEG/ERP, fMRI, TMS), and computational modeling methods in her studies. The overarching goal of her work is to identify behavioral, socio-emotional, and neurobiological markers of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, in order to develop novel cognitive training and brain stimulation interventions to improve functional outcome. Dr. Tso is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Clinical & Training Director of the Program for Risk Evaluation and Prevention (PREP) for youth with early signs of psychosis and serious mental illnesses. She is actively involved in the clinical care of patients, training and supervision of practicum students, postdoctoral fellows and clinical staff, and educational outreach in the community.
