Shuo Wang, Ph.D. [CV]
Associate professor
Email: shuowang@wustl.edu
Shuo got his Ph.D. in Computation and Neural Systems from the California Institute of Technology in 2014, and did his postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology and Princeton University before joining the faculty at West Virginia University in 2017. His lab moved to Washington University in St. Louis in 2021. His research interests revolve around visual saliency, attention, and face processing, and he also has a strong interest in autism research. He employs an array of neuroscience methods, including psychophysics, eye tracking, intracranial electrophysiology, fMRI, EEG, and computational modeling.
