Camille Toarmino
Camille earned her PhD in 2017. Today, she lives in Denver, Colorado and is completing her postdoctoral research in the Pain Science Program at CU Anschutz under Dr. Yoni Ashar. She is interested in brain mechanisms that persist chronic pain in humans. She was previously a Director for Data Science at various technology companies before transitioning back to academia.
Her graduate work was in Experimental Psychology where she studied animal behavior in the laboratory of Dr. Cory Miller at UC San Diego. Her research focused on the social rules that govern nonhuman primate communication systems, in particular how perturbations to those rules effect ongoing vocal signaling. Another aspect of her research involved examining communication in a naturalistic network of individuals, and determining what prompts an individual to vocalize in these settings. She also performed the first tonotopic mapping of the auditory cortex using fMRI in awake marmoset monkeys.
