Previous Degrees

Research Interests

The manifestation of our given name - a social tag - in our external facial appearance. Based on an earlier finding that adults look like their names, Noa wishes to examine whether our given name is a self-fulfilling prophecy, that is to say if a person's appearance grows similar over the years to his given name. For that purpose, in her thesis, Noa aims to see whether young children, too, look like their name.
