Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWednesday Bushong is an Assistant Professor specializing in the computational foundations of spoken and written language, with 11 years of research and teaching experience across leading institutions including University of Rochester, University of Hartford, and now Wellesley College. Trained in cognitive science, neuroscience, and linguistics (UC San Diego; PhD in Brain & Cognitive Sciences from Rochester), she bridges experimental psycholinguistics and computational modeling to probe how language is processed in the brain. Her work blends hands-on EEG/behavioral methods from electrophysiology labs with computational approaches developed during graduate research, giving her a rare dual fluency in neural measurement and model-driven theory. An experienced instructor who has designed and taught courses on language, cognition, and data analysis, she brings both deep technical rigor and classroom-tested communication to interdisciplinary collaborations.
