Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Social Neuroscience
at the University of Birmingham

Hello! I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working with Prof. Patricia Lockwood in the Social Decision Neuroscience Lab based at the Centre for Human Brain Health, University of Birmingham. I study the behavioural, computational and neural mechanisms underlying social learning and group decision-making in health, disease and development. Currently, I am investigating how broader environmental contexts influence consensus formation in groups using behavioural experiments, Bayesian computational modelling and functional neuroimaging techniques.

I previously completed my PhD in Psychology at the Centre for Human Brain Health, University of Birmingham with Prof. Patricia Lockwood, Prof. Matthew Apps and Dr Todd Vogel, funded by the Government Scholarship for Overseas Study (公費留學考試獎學金) from the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. My PhD thesis probes neurocomputational basis of social influence in both individuals and groups, drawing on a well-established neuroeconomic paradigm and a novel, gamified experimental task inspired by behavioural ecology.
