I'm delighted to announce that I'll be joining @UCBerkeley Psychology as an assistant professor in Fall 2026 🐻💙🐻💛
Deep thanks to my students and colleagues at @NUSingapore for four formative years, and to the advisors, family, and friends who've supported me throughout.

#JNeurosci: Mao, @ohdanieldw, @ohlab_ucb studied how a person’s face shapes our spontaneous bodily and brain responses. Findings suggest that our snap impressions of faces are associated with distinct but related physiological responses.

New paper accepted at J Neurosci:
"Physiological Representation of Social Evaluation," led by Anqi Mao @AngelaAnqiMao @ohlab_nus @NUSingapore.

We validated these patterns: New faces were generated along the modeled directions, and shown to new people, which elicited the predicted responses, but only when people were making social judgments, rather than purely perceptual ones.
Patterns captured sth socially meaningful.

Personal notes:
(1) This is the first paper first-authored by a student of mine. Immensely proud of @AngelaAnqiMao for carrying it through.
(2) I've admired J Neurosci ever since I can remember. My younger self wouldn't believe he would publish there as the senior author one day.

🚨 New paper in @NatureComms: (annoyingly) using college students to study cross-cultural effects underestimates the size of cultural differences. More education predicts more Westernization. Income & status don't. w/ Cindel White. 1/

We’re recruiting a full-time lab manager to join the Shared Minds Lab at USC! This will be a great opportunity for someone who wants to get hands-on experience with research before starting a PhD program in psychology or neuroscience. More below:

Finally out--first paper from my own shop: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Finding = How traits hang together in your own personality predicts how you see them hanging together in others (🇸🇬 + 🇺🇸 samples, preregistered).
Here's more to come!
Now in press at SPPS. Ruled out perceiver effects, stereotypical trait structure, assumed similarity; tested generalizability; and added longitudinal data. Kudos to coauthors @finneazmoner, Natasha Tan, and others.
First paper as PI!

I'll be recruiting PhD students and a postdoc to join the lab at Berkeley.
Interests:
• continuous person perception in interactive contexts
• biases in impression management
• social perception in digital spaces
Get in touch if there's overlap.
Excited for this next chapter!
