Brandon Woo

I'm a proud first-generation college graduate, child of East Asian immigrants, and member of the LGBTQ+ community. I was also an international student while in graduate school, and I'm still a non-citizen in the US. I've experienced racism (e.g., being told to go back to my home country), and I understand that discrimination, prejudice, and structural barriers can prevent people from pursuing careers in science. As a PI, a faculty member, and a member of the DEI Committee, I hope to support diversity, inclusion, and belonging in the lab, the classroom, and the broader community. I served on the DEI Committee while I was in graduate school, and I'm excited to work with the UCSB PBS community. If you ever want to say hi or chat, please feel free to email me at bmwoo@ucsb.edu or stop by my office (Psych East 2831).
