Angela Incollingo Rodriguez is an assistant professor of Psychological & Cognitive Sciences and Neuroscience. She directs the Stigma Eating & Endocrinology Dynamics (SEED) Lab and collaborates on interdisciplinary research initiatives throughout WPI and around the globe.

Dr. Rodriguez's research program harnesses an integrated biopsychosocial approach to identify psychosocial predictors and mechanisms that drive health behaviors, overall health, and health disparities. Her mixed-methods research occurs at the intersection of social phenomena (such as weight stigma), biomarkers (such as cortisol and inflammation), and psychological factors (such as stress and behavior change). Core themes throughout her work include eating and exercise, weight and obesity, stigma and discrimination, pregnancy and maternal health, and chronic pain.

Dr. Rodriguez is dedicated to teaching and mentoring students. She instructs Social Psychology, Health Psychology, Psychophysiology, and Advanced Psychophysiology and serves as the Assistant Director of the Psychological & Cognitive Science Program. She also leads an active team of student researchers in the SEED Lab and encourages any interested students to contact her about opportunities to work, volunteer, or conduct projects.
