Wei Yan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioWei Yan is a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University from 2021-2024. She received her Ph.D. from Tsinghua University and got the award of “The Best Graduate Student in Beijing”. She is the author of How to Live a Flourishing Life and How to Raise a Positive Child—both books are considered as a pioneering step in bringing positive psychology to the Chinese public.
Now she is a postdoctoral research fellow at Graduate School of Education, affiliated with Geoffrey Cohen who is a professor at GSE and Psychology Department. Her research focuses on the application of positive education, aiming to benefit not only students in the cities, but also students in the rural regions and vulnerable groups. She uses mixed methods, big data, machine learning and physiological experiments to investigate the formations of positive traits and virtues, including vitality, wellbeing, leadership, values, meaning and purposes.
Currently, Dr. Yan is working on a large project involving over hundreds of cities in China aiming to apply positive psychology to K-12 Students and Teachers. Through this project, she hopes to use empirical studies to investigate the mental status of both students and teachers, and to improve their levels of vitality, mental wellbeing, and life satisfaction. -
Tiffany (Qianru) Yang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioTiffany is a postdoctoral fellow with the Stanford Impact Labs postdoctoral fellowship program. She received her Ph.D. in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2024, concentrating in Human Development, Learning and Teaching, along with a Secondary Field in Data Science from the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Prior to her doctoral training, she received a B.A. in psychology from the University of Washington, Seattle, and an Ed.M. in human development and psychology from Harvard University. Tiffany’s research examines how early experiences influence children’s cognitive development and learning, with a particular focus on the role of the home environment and family interactions. This work aims to identify culturally situated factors that support the development of foundational cognitive skills in early to middle childhood, especially among underrepresented populations.

Jason Yeatman
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics), of Education and of Psychology
BioDr. Jason Yeatman is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education and Department of Psychology at Stanford University and the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Yeatman completed his PhD in Psychology at Stanford where he studied the neurobiology of literacy and developed new brain imaging methods for studying the relationship between brain plasticity and learning. After finishing his PhD, he took a faculty position at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences before returning to Stanford.
As the director of the Brain Development and Education Lab, the overarching goal of his research is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the process of learning to read, how these mechanisms differ in children with dyslexia, and to design literacy intervention programs that are effective across the wide spectrum of learning differences. His lab employs a collection of structural and functional neuroimaging measurements to study how a child’s experience with reading instruction shapes the development of brain circuits that are specialized for this unique cognitive function. -
