Biography
Zheng Zhang is a Postdoctoral Associate in Dr. Blumenfeld's lab at Yale School of Medicine. Zheng investigates human behaviors and brain mechanisms of neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy, stroke) from the aspects of consciousness, emotion, and cognition. He applies advanced research methodology and techniques in his current research, including machine learning, electrophysiological approaches, and MRI.
Zheng received his Ph.D. in Special Education from The University of Texas at Austin. In his previous research, he studied brain imaging and behavior on cognition among diverse population (e.g., typically developing individuals, those with neurological disorders). His first-authored papers appeared in top-ranked journals, including Child Development, Journal of Educational Psychology, Developmental Review, Developmental Science.
