Chujun Lin, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar in Psychology, Dartmouth College
Welcome!
I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Social Computation Representation And Prediction Laboratory (SCRAP Lab) at Dartmouth College, working with Professor Mark Allen Thornton.
I am enthusiastic about open science. I have been pre-registering my studies, sharing experiment data and codes since my second research project; recently started trying out registered reports.
Before joining Dartmouth College, I worked with Prof Ralph Adolphs in the Emotion and Social Cognition Lab at California Institute of Technology, where I earned my Ph.D. degree in social science in 2019.
