I'm interested in how individuals acquire knowledge from daily experience and dynamic environments. Motivated to further understand the neural/biological, cognitive, and computational mechanisms of such a learning process, I focus on memory and sleep in my current work. But I am also open to other related topics, such as decision-making, statistical learning, and causal reasoning, and happy to look at the development and mental health aspects in my future research.

My research is about the metacognitive processes of human learning and memory. I have found it fascinating to explore how people understand their own mnemonic behaviors and accordingly adjust their learning strategies for better performance. Unfortunately, it’s been well documented that many learners lack the awareness of some beneficial learning strategies such as taking retrieval practice/tests, making judgments of learning, and interleaving study materials, etc. My current work is to figure out how our metacognitive system functions during the aforementioned processes, and I wish I could help more people learn more efficiently with my findings.

My research interests primarily revolve around human episodic memory. I specialize in EEG and signal processing. I am particularly intrigued by the impact of various approaches on memory and the corresponding underlying mechanisms. These approaches encompass cognitive strategies, sleep, tACS, rhythmic auditory stimuli, physical environment, and more. I find them captivating and believe they complement one another.
