Dan Jiang (Chloe)
Dan Jiang (Chloe) is a visiting scholar in the Department of Psychology at The Pennsylvania State University, working with Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar in the Cognition, Affect, and Temperament Lab. She is also a Ph.D. candidate in Developmental Psychology at Zhejiang University under the supervison of Dr. Jie He. Her research interests include temperament and socioemotional neuroscience, and the role of early adversity in development.
Jiayi Fan
Jiayi Fan is a first-year Ph.D. student in the CAT Lab, with plans to pursue a dual-title degree in Social Data Analytics. Jiayi’s research focuses on how children internally process social feedback (e.g., evaluating different types of feedback, updating expectations) and how these processes relate to psychopathology. She is particularly interested in individual differences and within-person or dyadic dynamics. Methodologically, she enjoys using computational modeling to study behavior, but she is also open to incorporating other approaches, such as EEG, fMRI, and biological data, when appropriate. Outside of research, Jiayi survives on three nutrients: board games, drums, and travel.
Prathyusha (Pratt) Srinivasan
Prathyusha (Pratt) Srinivasan is a first-year graduate student in the Cognition, Affect, & Temperament Lab, working under the mentorship of Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar. She earned her B.S. in Neuroscience from Belmont University in 2023, where she used fNIRS to examine the neural correlates of emotion perception in adults. She then completed a post-graduate fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center with Dr. Kasia Chawarska, contributing to research on socioemotional development in children with autism. As a graduate student, Pratt is broadly interested in how maternal adversity during pregnancy shapes behavioral and neural processes underlying parent-child emotion regulation and attachment.
