Muzhi Wang

Muzhi Wang is a Research Fellow at the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research, University College London, specializing in computational approaches to decision-making and temporal cognition.

Her academic credentials include a PhD in Basic Psychology (2022) and dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology and Biological Science (2016), all earned at Peking University.

Her research integrates computational psychiatry with cognitive neuroscience to investigate how humans structure knowledge for efficient learning and how temporal expectations influence decision processes. Methodologically, she employs computational modeling and M/EEG neuroimaging to decode neural mechanisms underlying these phenomena.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on neural dynamics in economic decision-making (e.g., loss aversion) and temporal expectation mechanisms, demonstrating interdisciplinary work bridging computational theory with empirical neuroscience.

She is actively affiliated with the Applied Computational Psychiatry Group at the Centre.
