Vi Nguyen

Senior Research Assistant

Vi is a Senior Research Assistant in the Brain and Body Lab (BABLab) in the Psychology department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She is currently a second year student at UCLA majoring in Physiological Science. Following her undergraduate years, she plans to attend medical school. Her research interests lie at the intersection of physiology and psychology, and she hopes to work toward a future in which mental healthcare is integrated into primary healthcare. Outside of the BABLab, she enjoys volunteering and serves as President of Chapter Compassion, a club that works to raise awareness about empathy in medicine by providing social and emotional support to patients and families experiencing challenging times. In her free time, she loves watching sunsets, having photoshoots at random locations, trying lots of good food, and having really epic Just Dance and karaoke parties with friends (specifically, at 1 AM).
