Matteo Bugatti, Ph.D.
Lab Director
Dr. Bugatti is an assistant professor of psychology in the School of Psychological Science at Oregon State University. He earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University at Albany, State University of New York. His research explores how technology can be harnessed to improve psychological treatments and expand access to high-quality care. When he’s not doing science, he’s most likely being (literally) grounded by his daughters or border collies—often both.
