Research Fellow working with John Jonides
About
I am a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. John Jonides at the Department of Psychology of the University of Michigan. I am interested in how our cognitive system deals with distractions and interferences when they come up. I like using eye-tracking to examine those questions because it tells us a lot about how we deploy our attention in real-time. But I also incorporate other methods in my work, such as computational modeling and structural equation modeling.
From 2014 to 2020, I was a Ph.D. student in the Combined Program in Education and Psychology at the University of Michigan. I worked with Dr. Kevin Miller and Dr. Kai Cortina on gaze control mechanisms during mind-wandering. Before coming to Michigan, I majored in Psychology at Beijing Normal University from 2010 to 2014.
