Xingyao (Doria) Xiao
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioDr. Xingyao (Doria) Xiao is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, working on the LEVANTE project—an international effort to better understand how children learn and develop across different cultures and contexts. Her research focuses on using advanced statistical methods, like Bayesian modeling and psychometrics, to study learning over time and improve how we measure it fairly.
At Stanford, Dr. Xiao collaborates with Professors Ben Domingue and Nilam Ram to help design research tools that work across languages, cultures, and educational systems, supporting more inclusive and accurate educational research worldwide. -

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.
