The MAD Lab is a student-centered research lab where Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) students get experience conducting and presenting research. We are an applied lab investigating real-life issues from a psychological perspective. Most students in the lab are engaged in research under the supervision of Dr. Kyle Matsuba. We are a diverse group and work towards creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.
