Biography
My broad scientific research aims to understand how the dynamic neurocognitive networks in human brain support memory, learning and knowledge representations in multi-domains by combining both computational modeling and neuroimaging approaches.
Research Interest
My current projects at Stanford focus on developing computational frameworks to account for both behavioral and neuroimaging evidence on how children learn pivotal cognitive skills, naming language and math, and how the representations, processes and even structures in the neurocognitive brain networks change during the learning and development.
