Jiaqi (Adam) Huang

I am a fourth-year graduate student at Indiana University working at the Judgement and Decision Lab under the supervision of Jerome Busemeyer.

I am also affiliated to Causality in Cognition Lab at Stanford University working with Tobias Gerstenberg.

And computational science lab, led by Tim Pleskac.

I wrote a review paper that summarized the backgrounds of my research. Check it out here.
