Biography

Dr. Krawczyk received his PhD in 2003 from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied reasoning, decision making, and working memory with healthy populations as well as dementia patients. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, where he studied working memory and incentive processing using functional MRI.

Dr. Krawczyk joined the faculty in Psychiatry at UT Southwestern in 2006 and is jointly appointed at the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at UT Dallas.
