Alexandria Meyer, Ph.D., is the Assistant Director for Interdisciplinary Health Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she supports cross-campus health research by facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration, aligning projects with funding opportunities, and helping teams navigate complex initiatives from development through execution. Trained in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, she specializes in the intersection of brain function, behavior, and health.

Meyer has led multiple federally-funded studies, including projects investigating the neural mechanisms of cognitive control to inform interventions for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. She also directed interdisciplinary research exploring the psychological and physiological impacts of racially charged social interactions. Her work integrates a range of techniques—including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and biosignal analysis (e.g., cortisol assays, heart rate variability)—to examine the relationship between the physical body and psychological functioning.

Her methodological expertise includes experimental design, neuroimaging protocols, behavioral task programming (PsychToolbox, Python), and statistical modeling (MATLAB, R, SPSS). She applies these skills to bridge neuroscience, physiology, and behavioral science, driving data-informed solutions to complex health challenges. Meyer holds an MS and Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Florida State University.
