Jeffrey Cohn is Professor of Psychology
and Associate Professor of Psychiatry
at the University of Pittsburgh
and Adjunct Faculty at the Robotics
Institute,
Carnegie Mellon University. He earned his PhD in Clinical Psychology
from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and completed his
Clinical Internship at the University of Maryland Medical Center. For
the past 20 years, he has conducted investigations in the theory and
science of emotion, depression, and nonverbal communication. He has
co-led interdisciplinary and inter-institutional efforts to develop
advanced methods of automatic analysis of facial expression and
prosody; and applied these tools to research in human emotion, social
development, non-verbal communication, psychopathology, biomedicine,
and biometrics. His research has been supported by grants from the
National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development, the National Science Foundation, the
Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, and the Naval Research Laboratory.
