Renee Hui Xin Ng

Hello, I’m Renee Ng

📚 I am a PhD candidate in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego.

🧠 My research combines computational techniques and domain knowledge in clinical neuroscience and psychology to understand factors that contribute to brain aging in psychiatric disorders.

💻 I have work experience in product management, UX research, and business development in health tech startups.

🙌 Outside of work, I enjoy learning about “ancestral movement” approaches to physical activity by practicing and learning contemporary dance and martial arts.

✨ My Chinese name is Hui Xin — indeed there is a space between my first name.

Research Interests and Values

The following questions guide my research interests and values as I continue to grow as a researcher:

How can we leverage advances in computational power to improve assessment of mental illnesses and develop more personalized treatment plans?
How can we incentivize best practices for reproducibility and replicability (e.g., data sharing, detailed methods section, and publishing negative data)?
How can we
