Biography
Dr. Fang Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Translation at City University of Hong Kong. She received her PhD in Psychology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and completed her postdoctoral training at Stanford University. Her work lies at the intersection of education, neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and school environments. Prof. Wang's research investigates the neural mechanisms of word processing across various language systems (logographic Chinese; alphabetic English and German), developmental stages (children and adults), and learning differences (typical readers and readers with developmental dyslexia). She employs behavioral studies, EEG, and fMRI techniques in her investigations.
