    I received my PhD from Harvard University and my BA from Williams College. From 2020-2023, I was an Assistant Professor at Washington University in St. Louis. My research concerns the role of reasons in perception and cognition, and the scope of epistemic evaluability.

    Philosophy of language, semantics, pragmatics, and the syntax-semantics interface. I have focused on such topics as the nature of linguistic meaning, the ways meaning and context of utterance interact, and mechanisms of semantic composition and how they relate to syntax.

    Neurobiology of learning and memory. Applies epigenetic, molecular, and electrophysiological techniques in animals to understand the basis of associative learning and memory determined by behavior; combines sensory neurophysiology (in the auditory system) with behavioral neuroscience to study how memory and perception intertwine.

    I am interested in systematic variation in human cognition that arises between people across development and within a person across contexts. In my lab, we study this systematic variation by using behavioral experiments, mathematical and computational models, and a wide developmental perspective – from infancy to adults.

    Research in my laboratory employs neurophsyiological, behavioral, and theoretical methods to explore how humans and rodent models learn information about the world and apply this knowledge to the neural processing of incoming sensory stimuli. We are also interested in how dysfunction in these processes could manifest in mental and neurological disorders.

    Understanding how individual neurons in the brain contribute to this process has been a major challenge, and experiments are often intentionally designed to break this natural action-sensation loop, leaving us with incomplete models of how the brain actually works to drive behavior under real-world conditions.

    My interest lies in the study of voluntary actions in general and the emergence of symbolic intelligence from them. In particular, I have been studying natural voluntary arm movements in the context of reaching for and grasping an object, obstacle avoidance, the acquisition and retrieval of a motor program, and more recently on the performance of a parietal patient and of patients with Parkinson's disease. I am also doing research on autism.

    Dr. Zhang's research combines computational modeling, behavioral methods and neural imaging to understand human memory. She is interested in how the human memory system uses its limited cognitive resources to efficiently retrieve past experiences and knowledge, and how we as researchers can design methods to improve human memory performance.
