About

Hello! This is Jin.

I am an incoming PhD student working with Dr. Marvin Chun at Yale University.

I obtained my B.S. in Psychology and Environmental Science from Peking University, where I worked with Dr. Xin Zhang on emotion perception and memory. I then completed a M.A. in Psychology from the University of Chicago with a certificate in Computational Social Sciences. I worked with Dr. Boaz Keysar on my master’s thesis studying trust in uncertainty.

Currently I work as a research specialist in the Cognition, Attention, and Brain Lab led by Dr. Monica Rosenberg and as a research assistant in the Motivation and Cognition Neuroscience Lab led by Dr. Yuan Chang Leong. My current research characterizes the neural signature of spontaneous thoughts during rest, and a common neural code for affective experiences during naturalistic movie watching.
