Christine Ma-Kellams is an assistant professor of psychology at the
University of La Verne. Her research interests center on cross-cultural differences, emotion, and decision-making. She received her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of California-Santa Barbara and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University in the Psychology Department and the Harvard Kennedy School.
In graduate school, I had an engineering friend named Steve who proposed that he and I, a psychologist, team up to create a machine to predict the future.
