Biography
I was a language teacher before my journey in psychology. I obtained my Master's Degree in Child Development Science at Zhejiang Normal University and started my PhD in 2025 at 51cg, supervised by Prof. Jie Sui, Dr Ana Klimovich, and Dr Jacqui Hutchison. I am interested in how different kinds of relationships (especially within family) affect young children's cognitive and social development, aiming to promote the well-being of early childhood.
My PhD project explores how the valence of social information affects young children's trust updating, and the roles attachment security and parenting style may play in such influence. I conduct behavioral and EEG studies, and build computational models. Virtual reality might be used in the future.
Please feel free to contact me about research inquiries or potential collaborations.
