Dr. Wang completed her Ph.D. in Kinesiology at the Pennsylvania State University in 2013. She received her postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience and pediatric psychology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and the University of Kansas. Dr. Wang secured a Research Assistant Professor position at the Schiefelbusch Institute for Lifespan Studies at the University of Kansas. She joined the faculty in the Department of Occupational Therapy in 2018 and transitioned to the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology in 2021 at the University of Florida. Dr. Wang directs the Neurocognitive and Behavioral Development Laboratory (NBDL). Her research interest focuses on identifying neurophysiological mechanisms underlying sensorimotor issues in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, and Fragile X, etc.) and adults who are at risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., middle aged autistic adults, individuals with FMR1 gene premutation, etc.,). Dr. Wang’s research is currently funded by NIA and NINDS. Dr. Wang has been published in multiple high impact and scientifically rigorous peer-reviewed journals specializing in developmental science (e.g., Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders), neuroscience (e.g., Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, and Experimental Brain Research), neurobiology (e.g., Frontiers in Neuroscience Systems Biology and International Journal of Molecular Sciences) and neurophysiology (e.g., Journal of Neurophysiology).
