Abdo Elnakouri

Principal Investigator

Abdo Elnakouri is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Houston. After earning his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, he recently completed a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship at Northwestern University’s RAM Lab. He is fascinated by how people come to experience reality in such diverse ways (e.g., through different political beliefs and religious convictions) and why people often resist changing their worldviews. When away from work, you can usually find Abdo with friends, watching TV shows (that end well), and cooking up new playlists.
