The MadGuy lab is run jointly by Dr. Stephanie Madon and myself (I'm the "Guy").  The lab's primary function is to investigate topics related to forensic science, with a particular focus on forensic firearm examination. This focus includes studying how lay people understand forensic results, and how that understanding can influence their decisions. In addition we have continued interests in police interrogation and eyewitness identification. Having been trained as experimental psychologists we emphasize rigorous experimental design and methodology to test important hypotheses, and strive to be guided by relevant psychological theory. Successful graduate students will be those who seek rigorous training in experimental psychology and who are not daunted by high expectations, constructive criticism, and hard work. Such students have had positive experiences in our lab and have achieved their professional goals. Individuals who have different strengths and skills are less likely to find our lab to be a good fit.
