Research Interest

Kelly Curtis received her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2000. She entered the Applied Biopsychology Doctoral Program at UNO in August 2003. She received her Masters of Science in August of 2005. Kelly is currently working under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Greve. Her research focuses on neuropsychological assessment, malingering detection, and examination of the contributory factors related to persistent symptomatology in both traumatic brain injury patients and pain patients.
