ABOUT ME

I am a postdoc scholar at The Number Lab, Vanderbilt University, USA. I am interested in integrating neuroscience and developmental psychology to study problems from education. More specifically, I am interested in numerical cognition. How do we learn mathematics? Why is math so hard for some children? What is the developmental trajectory of matheamtics knowledge? These questions have guided my research.

 

In my research, I have investigated how nonsymbolic and symbolic number processing leverage whole-number and fraction knowledge, using both behavioral and neuroimaging methods. In addition to investigating typically developing children, I have also investigated the cognitive profile of developmental dyscalculia, and number processing in genetic syndromes.
