Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiheng Zhang is a predoctoral psychology researcher specializing in the cognitive neuroscience and information-theoretic underpinnings of mood disorders, combining lab experiments with computational modeling to probe the boundary between healthy and pathological cognition. With 11 years of research experience across institutions including University of Arizona, University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard-affiliated centers, he translates theoretical frameworks into testable experiments and simulations. His work spans clinical assessment, memory and emotion representation, and the mathematical formalization of affective processes—bridging human neuroscience and AI-relevant models. As a clinician-scientist in training, he brings hands-on clinical externship experience in health systems together with rigorous lab-based investigation. Notably, he pursues cross-disciplinary questions—drawing on an early background in astronomy and applied psychology—to inform novel modeling perspectives on memory and emotion. Based in Tucson, AZ, he writes not only code and papers but also stories, reflecting a broader interest in communicating science beyond academia.
