Jie Luo

Language & Cognition

Jie completed her Master’s degree in Developmental and Educational Psychology at the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, Beijing Normal University in July 2021. She is currently pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Fumiko Hoeft. Her research interests lie at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychopathology and translational work in education. The driving force behind her involvement in the Transcend programme stems from a deep-seated desire to bridge the gap between cognitive neuroscience and educational practice. Her primary goal in joining the Transcend programme is to receive training in educational neuroscience and to develop skills that will enable the effective translation of research findings into accessible knowledge for the general public. By acquiring these skills, she intends to make a meaningful contribution to the learning disability community, which holds an important place in her academic pursuits.
