Tessa Hart, PhD
Bio

Dr. Hart received a PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology from the University of Houston, where she specialized early in rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

She spent more than 15 years treating and developing programs for people with acquired brain injury and their families in inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings before joining the MRRI faculty as a full-time researcher in 1999.

From 2002 to 2018, she was Principal Investigator of the Moss Traumatic Brain Injury Model System funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, and also received funding from the NIH, The Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the Einstein Society.

She is a Fellow of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Society for Clinical Neuropsychology, and has served on the ACRM Board of Governors. She is also a past-president of APA’s Division of Rehabilitation Psychology.

Dr. Hart has been an invited member of numerous expert panels on TBI and review panels for TBI research, and has served on the Editorial Board of six prominent journals. Her work has been recognized by the Pioneer Award from the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania, the Cohen Award from the Einstein Healthcare Network, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Brain Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group of the ACRM, the Solomon Award from the Rusk/ NYU Medical Center, the Diller Award and the Roger G. Barker Award from APA Division 22, the Norington Medal from the Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, and the William Fields Caveness Award for Outstanding Research Contributions to Brain Injury at a National and International Level from the Brain Injury Association of America. She was the 2019 recipient of the Robert L. Moody Prize for Distinguished Initiatives in Brain Injury Research and Rehabilitation.

Research Interests

  • Executive dysfunction
  • Development and evaluation of treatments based on self-regulation and self-management training
  • Specification of the ‘active ingredients’ of rehabilitation, including applications of learning theories to rehabilitation
  • Assistive technology for cognition
  • Clinical trials methodology
