🎓 Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin
My research centers on how the brain manipulates information to serve goal-directed behaviors. My projects explore how different cognitive strategies for removing thoughts from mind lead to changes in their memory representations.
🦚 Doctoral Students
My main interest lies in the interaction between memory and attention. Specifically, I am interested in how attentional control shapes memory representations and how internal representations influence ongoing processes.

I study how we control what we remember (and forget!), especially how emotions impact this process in the brain. Using a mix of brain imaging and behavioral experiments, I explore why memory control sometimes fails and how we can get better at it.
Edward Leung
🦚 Ph.D. student, Neuroscience (Year 3)
🎓 B.S., B.A., University of Washington
I’m intrigued by how the conceptual semantics of information influences working memory. Specifically, I’m exploring how the meaning of information impacts our ability to control what remains in our mind and what we can discard.
I’m fascinated by how visual working memory and attention work together to help us make sense of the ever-changing world around us. I explore how we store, protect, and update visual information in memory, and how this shapes what we remember long-term.

🦚 Research Assistants
Research Assistants engage in lab research activities, often earning course credit, through tasks such as data collection and analysis, participation in journal clubs, and attendance at lab meetings. These students receive mentorship from a graduate student or postdoc in the lab and have the opportunity to design their own experiments for senior thesis projects.
