Dong, Yulin
Postdoc Fellow
My research focuses on social decisions, particularly learning on networks. I have examined how mental representations of social networks explain biases in social learning and perception. I have PhD in psychology and bachelor’s degrees in Astrophysics and Psychology from Peking University.

Kong, Ka Kit
Postdoc Fellow
How people deal with novel situations is what makes intelligence intelligence. My current research focuses on developing a principle-based theoretical framework toward understanding the mechanisms underlying generalization. I received my PhD and BS in Physics from Peking University.

Li, Yuanfeng
PhD Student
My broad research interest lies in the intersection of AI and neuroscience. Currently, my research focuses on social learning, particularly how information quality impacts learning dynamics in networked environments. Prior to joining the lab, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Liu, Ningfeng
PhD Student
I am interested in how information acquired from the world is structured, transformed, and used when people are interacting with the world and other people. My current research explores how interactions and communication between people with different prior experiences reshape their knowledge structures. I hold BSc in Pharmacy and MSc in Medicinal Chemistry from Peking University, which sparked my interest in exploring pharmacological approaches to treating cognitive disorders and augmenting human intelligence.

Niu, Runxuan
PhD Student
As social animals, we build collective knowledge from experiences shared with others. My research examines how this knowledge is represented in the human mind and used in social behavior. I also seek to apply insights from laboratory experiments to address some long-standing legal questions through scientific approaches. Prior to joining the lab, I majored in Psychology and Economics at PKU.

Wu, Haitau
Postdoc fellow
I am under the joint supervision by Profs. Lusha Zhu and Si Wu. I hope to combine computational neuroscience approaches with experimental exploration to provide insights into higher-order cognition. I obtained my PhD and BS in Psychology from Peking University.

Yu, Guihua
PhD Student
I am interested in how preferences are formed and changed by our own choices, how social information shapes fairness preferences, and how AI influences human social behavior. To investigate these questions, I use computational modeling and fMRI to understand the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying human preferences and decision-making. I received my bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Management from Peking University.
