Pin-Hao Andy Chen
Director [CV] [Email] [Google scholar]
Andy Chen received his Ph.D. in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College. He joined the faculty at National Taiwan University as an assistant professor in 2020 at the Department of Psychology. He uses an interdisciplinary approach, combining experimental social psychology and computational methods to gain a better understanding of the psychological and neural mechanisms involved in interacting minds. He has published in Nature Human Behaviour, Science Advances, eLife, and Neuroimage. He also received Ta-You Wu Memorial Award (Early career award) from Taiwan NSTC in 2021. He is now a consulting editor at JoCN and the secretary at the Social and Affective Neuroscience Society (SANS).
