Hi, this is Mercury Yueyuan Zheng, a research assistant professor in the Division of Social Science at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST). I received my Ph.D. degree in cognitive psychology supervised by Prof. Janet Hsiao at the Department of Psychology, University of Hong Kong in 2024.

Research interests

I am interested in understanding how humans perceive and respond to the world using behavioral, eye-tracking, and computational approaches. For example, I investigate how multimodal information influences human visual strategies and further contributes to their behavioral performance (in scenarios such as multimedia learning and audiovisual emotion perception). I also try to simulate human perception and cognition using artificial neural networks to better understand patterns and mechanisms of human behaviors.
