Amos Jeng

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am an alumnus of the Johns Hopkins University with a B.A. in Cognitive Science and Philosophy. My research interests concern how students of diverse socio-cultural backgrounds develop connections and support one another in higher education settings. Ultimately, through my work, I aim to advocate for nuanced and culturally contextualized understandings of how undergraduate students interact and communicate in online and face-to-face academic contexts.
