Post-Doctoral Researcher

Jingqi is a cognitive scientist at BEAR. She is broadly interested in understanding cognitive and psychological processes in human information processing and decision-making, as well as in how these insights can be applied to information strategy and intervention development in real-world settings. Her research uses a blend of data science, computational modeling, and behavioral experiments to study how people integrate heterogeneous sources and forms of information to make inferences and decisions. Having experienced how the rise of user-generated content has reshaped the way she is interacting with others and with information, Jingqi has a strong interest in examining how electronic word-of-mouth communication influences social and economic exchanges. Jingqi holds a dual PhD in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science from Indiana University, Bloomington. To learn more about Jingqi’s research visit sites.google.com/view/jingqiyu
