个人简历

法国里昂大学认知科学博士。在法国国家科学研究中心语言-大脑-认知(L2C2)实验室，比利时根特大学实验心理学系和法国国家健康和医学研究中心(INSERM)神经影像学研究中心Neurospin实验室受博士和博士后训练。2012年加入华东师范大学，主要从事语言、阅读和认知发展研究，关注语言（言语和阅读）和其它认知能力在多个层面上的神经机制、个体差异以及儿童的语言-认知习得过程。目前担任中国心理学会语言心理学专业委员会委员，Frontiers in Human Neuroscience、Frontiers in Psychology期刊副主编, 以及中国、荷兰、比利时、丹麦等多国的国家级科研项目评审等。
研究生招生方向：认知神经科学。除了心理学和神经科学本科，也非常欢迎数理、计算机和幼教背景的同学加入。
