About

Hi visitor! Welcome to my website.

Research

I am a Social Cognitive Psychology researcher. I am a PhD student at the Culture and Cognition lab at Queen’s University. I earned my B.S. in Applied Psychology from Jilin University in China and my master’s in Psychology from Wake Forest University in the U.S.

I’m interested in cultural differences and similarities in perception, communication, and JDM. I am also enthusiastic about R, stats, and cross-cultural measurement.

Personal

In my free time, I enjoy turning off screens, getting fresh air, and getting inspired by great minds, so I run while listening to my favorite podcasts. I also love recording my dreams. I have been keeping a dream diary since 2012.

My last name is the same as the Marvel superhero “Shang-Chi”, and I named myself “Samantha” after the AI from the movie Her.
