Hi, I am Zoe! My Chinese name is Ziyi Duan(段紫逸), just like a purple bunny in a skateboarding. I am a Ph.D. student in ClaySpace Lab in the Department of Psychology at New York University. Before that, I worked as a research assistant in Lewis-Peacock Lab at The University of Texas at Austin, and did my undergraduate and master work with Dr. Xiaowei Ding at Sun Yat-sen University (China).

As a cognitive neuroscientist, I am interested in the relationship between brain-mind-behavior. In particular, I am interested in the neural and computational mechanisms of working memory, a core cognitive function that is essential for flexible behaviors. My research combines psychophysics, eye-tracking, neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG), machine learning, and computational modeling. I especially enjoy foraging for scientific innovation by designing new experimental approaches and developing new techniques. Moreover, I hope to contribute to clinical applications in mental and brain disorders to help a broader society.
