About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Andy Chen @ CHENLab. My research interests focus on leveraging multimodal methods, including fMRI, social network analysis, and nonverbal behavior, combined with naturalistic paradigms to study the mechanisms behind interacting minds and emergent properties in human interactions.
