Graduate Students
Rani Bawa | Email
Rani graduated from The Ohio State University with a B.S. in neuroscience, minoring in dance and
clinical psychology, in the spring 2021. Her undergraduate research focused on the concept of
familiarity, integrating research in the fields of perception, emotion, and music. Rani is
broadly interested in connecting behavioral evidence with neural correlates of perception, and how
perception can be influenced by perspective, familiarity level to target objects or people, and
other framing effects. She is interested in looking at interdisciplinary implications of this
regarding (but not limited to!) impression formation, politics, health psychology, and consumer
behavior.
Eunjee Ko | Email
Eunjee Ko graduated from Seoul National University in 2020 with B.A. in Psychology and
Information Science & Culture, minoring in Brain-Mind-Behavior. She received M.A. in
Clinical Psychology from Seoul National University in 2022. Eunjee is broadly interested
in how prior experiences related with social inequality influence people’s social cognition
and behaviors, and how this relationship is represented in the brain. She also aims to
study ways to improve well-being of people and society taking interdisciplinary approach
combining methodologies from traditional social psychology, neuroscience, and human-computer
interaction.

Huanqing graduated from Beijing Normal University with a B.S. in Psychology, minoring in
Computer Science in 2019. Before joining the lab, she worked in Dr. Yin Wang’s Multimodal
Social Neuroscience Lab. She is interested in investigating social interaction perception
and individual differences in perception, from both behavioral level and brain level. She
is also interested in using naturalistic stimuli and machine-learning methods to explore
the social world.
Dan Zhu | Email
Dan Zhu graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a B.A. in Psychology in 2019.
Before joining the lab, she worked with Dr. Gui Xue on working memory and cognitive functions at
Beijing Normal University, China. Dan is generally interested in the neural mechanism of social
decision-making and how social perception can be influenced by self-other similarity. More
specifically, she looks at how different aspects of self-other similarity play a role in
friendship and social closeness.
