Welcome back to Office Hours!! 

This week we discuss whats been on our mind since our conversation with Dr. Conroy-Beam. We hope you enjoy and we will see you next week for another interview!

- Nic and Brendan

Dan Conroy-Beam is a professor of developmental and evolutionary psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received his B.S. in Psychology and his Ph.D. in Individual Differences and Evolutionary Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin where he worked closely with his advisor, David Buss. He joined the faculty of University of California Santa Barbara in 2016.  Dr. Conroy-Beam uses an evolutionary perspective to understand how mate preferences are linked to actual mating outcomes. Specifically, he is interested in how mate preferences are integrated with one another computationally in order to make mating decisions. His work combines agent-based modeling of mate choice evolution with studies of real couples to compare and explore candidate algorithms for how people select their mating strategies, evaluate potential mates, and regulate their relationships. He currently runs and leads the Computational Mate Choice Lab.
