Pin-Chun is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London, where she leads the NeuroSync Lab, studying neural synchrony in sleep and memory, exploring how coordinated brain and body dynamics support human memory through multimodal neuroimaging (EEG, intracranial EEG, MEG, fMRI, and HRV), with a focus on how sleep can be harnessed to promote cognitive health and combat age-related decline.
She earned her Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences from the University of California, Irvine (2022), under the supervision of Dr. Sara Mednick, along with an M.S. in Statistics from the same institution. She then held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship with Dr. Bernhard Staresina at the University of Oxford and Dr. Brett Foster at the University of Pennsylvania. A full list of her publications is on Google Scholar.
Originally from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Pin-Chun completed her B.S. in Psychology and B.Ed. in Education at National Chengchi University, Taipei, working with Dr. Chien-Ming Yang in the Sleep Lab, before moving to the U.S. for her Ph.D.
As a queer international woman in STEM, Pin-Chun is committed to building a lab culture that is inclusive and welcoming to people of all backgrounds and identities.
