Deng Pan (潘登)
Deng is a DPhil (PhD) student at Oxford University, Department of Experimental Psychology, working with Professor Matthew Rushworth FRS. He received his BS in psychological and cognitive sciences from Peking University (PKU), Beijing. He employs neuroimaging, computational modelling, and noninvasive focused ultrasound stimulation to understand the neural and computational mechanisms underlying structure learning and flexible decision-making in social contexts. Outside of research, he enjoys reading novels, swimming, and climbing (his name in Chinese means ‘climbing’). Deng is on X (fomerly Twitter) & Blusky.
