About Angela Spirou

Since January 2015, Angela Spirou has worked in a research capacity at the Kessler Foundation, a not for profit in East Hanover, New Jersey, dedicated to research projects that benefit the quality of life of individuals living with various types of disabilities, including brain and spinal cord injuries. At the Kessler Foundation, Angela Spirou currently serves as a research data coordinator in the Center for Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Research as well as the Center for Traumatic Brain Injury Research.

Ms. Spirou was responsible for the development of an all-new automated research screening platform that enhanced productivity in both centers. She further drove productivity by introducing a more effective automated scoring procedure for neuropsychological testing, which also reduced errors in scoring, among other achievements.

Angela Spirou graduated from Montclair State University with a master of arts in experimental psychology. Her thesis focused on the connection between depressive symptomology, motivational deficits, and striatal activity in individuals living with traumatic brain injuries. She also studied psychology in a post-baccalaureate program at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck. In 2019 she earned a data science certification from Rutgers University and has since worked on several projects that can be found at www.github.com/angspirou.
