Research

I’m currently researching cross-cultural judgment and decision making with Dr. Li-Jun Ji at Queen’s University. Broadly, my research interests fall within the area of social cognitive psychology, including:

1. Cross-cultural judgment and decision making
2. Cross-cultural comparison of communication strategies
3. AI perception
