Paul Harrell
Paul Harrell is a pre-doctoral student in the BCAN program. Prior to
coming to American University, he earned a B.S. in Psychology from University
of Maryland, College Park and worked at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
His primary research at American University is on the influence of caffeine
and nicotine on performance and affect in people, using experimental models.
Expectancies are also examined as mediators and moderators of drug outcomes.
In collaboration with NIDA, he is also working with Dr. Juliano to publish
research examining relationships between cigarette smoking and cocaine/heroin
treatment outcomes. His current research project examines individual differences
in cognitive and affective responses to nicotine.
