We are happy to kick off a new school year at the Action & Brain Lab by welcoming two new graduate students into our lab! First, we introduce Ashley Xu.

Ashley is from Zhejiang, China. She moved to the United States at the age of 18 to pursue her bachelor’s degree. She has a BS in Brain & Cognitive Science and a BA in Psychology from University of Rochester, where she learned ASL and gained research experience working with Deaf people. Her prior research experience focused on sensory information processing in D/HH population using neuroimaging methods including EEG and MRI. She’s excited to join ABL and continue her passion in researching deaf brain development and sensory information processing shaped by deafness or acquisition of sign language.

Ashley, we are thrilled to have you and cannot wait to see what comes from your time with us. Welcome, Ashley, and congratulations to all other new graduate students starting their graduate work in this uncertain world.
