JACOB FEILER, MS
PhD Student, Educational Psychology & Neuroscience

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Alabama and am getting my degree in Educational Psychology and concentrating in Educational Neuroscience. My research interests include examining how neuroscience can be utilized to understand why some students find challenges in learning science and math and how this information might lead to innovative student interventions. Checkout my ResearchGate profile here. 

I received a master’s degree in anatomy with a certificate in anatomical sciences teaching from the University of Colorado School of Medicine prior to attending the University of Alabama (UA). My master's research utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging to study severe worry in adolescents. Specifically, I looked at how worry might impact behavioral inhibition and threat vigilance.

In my free time, I like to ski back home in Colorado and spend time with family and friends. To contact me, please use the email link in the footer of this page.
