Yun-Chen (Jennifer) Hung 洪勻蓁

hello!

I am a PhD student working with Dr. Qiong Zhang at Rutgers University – New Brunswick. My research lies primarily in cognitive modeling of human memory to reverse-engineer the brain.

Previously, I worked with Dr. Anastasia Kiyonaga and Dr. Tim Brady on my undergraduate honors thesis on the flexibility of pupillary signals under different working memory task strategies. Moreover, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Armin Schwartzman on Exploring Working Memory Task Predictability using fMRI Data.

Outside of research, I enjoy traveling with friends✈️, finding the best matcha in town🍵, and I completed a half marathon this year🏃
