Dahlia Razif

Dahlia Razif

Dahlia is an undergraduate student majoring in human physiology, psychology and finance with a minor in economics. Originally from Malaysia, she moved to Oregon to pursue her higher education. She has a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology and plans to focus her research on psychopathologies such as mood and personality disorders. She has an inclination towards studies involving bipolar disorder (BD) and wants to concentrate her future research in the neural mechanisms of BD alongside structural and physiological brain differences in BD patients.

After her undergraduate education, she wishes to complete her Master of Business Administration (MBA), hopefully pursue a medical degree (MD) with specialization in neurology and eventually complete her PhD in neuroscience. In her free time, she enjoys painting, reading and playing video games!
