Chujun Lin

Chujun Lin is a researcher at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) within the College of Letters and Science. Their work focuses on understanding how humans form impressions of others through social perception mechanisms.

• Key Affiliation: Department of Psychology, UCSD
• Methodologies: Computational modeling, cross-cultural studies, neuroimaging

Research Interests center on spontaneous impression formation from limited cues like facial appearances. They investigate how stereotypes and biases influence social judgments, and how these perceptions affect real-world outcomes including:

• Voting behavior
• Courtroom sentencing
• Misinformation spread
• Science communication
• Climate action decisions

Their publication trends reveal expertise in facial perception analysis, algorithmic bias detection, and neuroimaging of social cognition. Current work examines trait inference dimensions and develops computational frameworks for understanding bias formation.
