Biography

Derick earned a B.A. in Psychology from Weber State University (UT, USA) in 1995. He later attended Yale University (CT, USA) as a Psychology graduate student, specializing in Behavioral Neuroscience. Following receipt of his Ph.D. in 2004, Dr. Lindquist served as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Associate at Indiana University (USA) and the University of Kansas (USA), respectively. 

During this period, his research in rodents focused on how neurons and synapses are modified when new memories are encoded, stored, and retrieved. The goal was to relate learning-dependent changes in the brain to ongoing and future behavior.

In 2009, Dr. Lindquist joined the Psychology department at The Ohio State University (USA). His research focused on the harmful effects of early-life ethanol exposure in rodents, modeling fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) in humans. This worked informed our basic understanding of FASD and provided new ideas regarding its etiology and treatment.

Dr. Lindquist joined O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU; India) in 2019. In the Jindal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities, he published an innovative model of associative learning, a capstone on his twenty-year behavioral neuroscience research career. In 2021, Dr. Lindquist was elevated to Founding Dean of the Jindal School of Psychology & Counselling, the tenth school at JGU. In 2022, he established and became Director of E-Cog: The Emotion & Cognition Psychology Research Centre. 

Over the past twenty-five years, Dr. Lindquist has published more than 30 peer-reviewed research and review articles in internationally recognized journals, as well as a multitude of book chapters, blog posts, etc. He has mentored dozens of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the USA, China, and India.
