About Mariam

Mariam Aly is an Acting Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, where she joined the faculty in 2024. She earned her H.B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Toronto in 2008, M.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Davis in 2010, and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, Davis in 2013. Prior to Berkeley, Aly was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University from 2017 to 2024 and conducted postdoctoral research at Princeton University's Neuroscience Institute until 2017. She directs the Aly Lab, which studies the mechanisms by which attention and perception influence memory for the world around us and how memory guides attention, perception, prediction, and goal-directed behavior. Her research integrates behavioral experiments, eye tracking, functional neuroimaging, computational modeling, lesion studies, and pharmacological manipulations to explore hippocampal and medial prefrontal contributions to these processes.
