She has a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Connecticut and over a decade of experience in quantitative research methods and statistical analysis. Her areas of statistical expertise include psychometrics, structural equation modeling and big data techniques such as propensity score analysis, multi-level, growth/ longitudinal and mixture modeling.

Katherine spearheads research on Social Identity Threat in relation to women and people of color in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Within this line of research, Dr. Picho has conducted cross-cultural research examining stereotype threat in under-studied populations such as adolescents in non-Western cultural contexts. and intervention research to attenuate social identity threat.

Ever seeking to expand boundaries of stereotype threat research, under Dr. Picho’s leadership, RISE is expanding its intervention research to include analyses of physiological correlates of stereotype threat, and the use of biofeedback to counteract social identity threat at the physiological level where it matters the most.
