ABOUT ME
I am a 6th year Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Chicago working with Dr. Lin Bian
My work in the social cognitive development area primarily focuses on the development of gender stereotypes about brilliance in fields such as math and science. I am interested in how and when these beliefs develop, and to what extent beliefs about gender itself influence the development of these gender stereotypes. My work also explores early sources of these stereotypes, such as parents and children’s media.
Prior to attending the University of Chicago, I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Chemistry at New York University. There I also worked as a research assistant and then lab manager at Andrei Cimpian’s Cognitive Development Lab.

As an academic deeply engaged in the exploration of social cognitive development, I have dedicated my research to understanding how gender stereotypes about ability in math and science emerge and evolve. My work aims to challenge these stereotypes and promote a more inclusive educational environment that values diversity in all fields, particularly in STEM. I believe that addressing these biases is crucial for fostering equitable opportunities for all students, regardless of gender. Through my research, I strive to contribute to the academic discourse surrounding gender identity and its impact on educational outcomes, ultimately enhancing the academic job market for future generations.
