“We are learning new ways to support people suffering from conditions every day. The more we understand about the neural basis of impulsive decision making, the closer we are at identifying interventions that can help these individuals manage their conditions,” said Dr. Yates. “It’s humbling to see my research continues to make such an impact. Being named a fellow is not just simply about me, but rather showcasing the cutting-edge research 51�������� faculty are conducting.”

A well-renowned scholar, Dr. Yates has published 26 manuscripts in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and co-authored a book since 2012. He’s received national recognition from the American Psychological Association for his research, including the Young Psychopharmacologist Award and the B.F. Skinner Foundation New Researcher Award. Dr. Yates has also received multiple awards for his impact on campus, earning the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award and receiving the Excellence in Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Award. 

“As a student, I was fortunate to engage in research. This sparked my aspirations of becoming a professor and conducting research with my own students,” said Dr. Yates. “I’m thankful for my students’ hard work. Without them, I wouldn’t have received this recognition without their support.”
