Ethan Hurwitz

Lecturer and Postdoctoral Researcher

University of California, San Diego

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the University of California, San Diego Psychology Department and Center for Psychedelic Research. Psychedelics continue to show promise as a novel therapeutic option for a variety of clinical indications. My work asks: How? I am particularly interested in the role of cognitive flexibility and using cognitive development as a model to bridge the levels of analysis in psychedelic science.

I am also passionate about pedagogy and enhancing the educational experience for all students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds. I love creating and redesigning course materials to help students learn more creatively and develop a passion for research and data science.
