    Mohinish (Moss) Shukla is a Lecturer in the Brain & Cognition program group in the Department of Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. Originally trained as a biologist, he received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA), Trieste, Italy. Subsequently, following post-doctoral training at the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Rochester, NY, USA, he was an Assistant Professor in Psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA, where he was one of three co-PIs of the UMass Boston Baby Lab.
