About the Speaker

Ping Li is Professor of Psychology, Linguistics, and Information Sciences & Technology at the Pennsylvania State University, where he also serves as Associate Director of the Institute for CyberScience and Co-Director of the Center for Brain, Behavior, and Cognition. The goal of his research is to understand the neuro-computational basis of language learning, and its relationship with culture, brain, and technology. His recent work stands at the crossroads of cyber-enabled learning and discovery, by connecting language learning, reading comprehension, and science education with 3D digital technology.

Li is Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Neurolinguistics and Associate Editor of Frontiers in Psychology: Language Sciences. He previously served as President of the Society for Computers in Psychology and Program Director of Cognitive Neuroscience and Perception, Action and Cognition at the US National Science Foundation.
