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. -

Albert Zhang
Undergraduate, Symbolic Systems
BioHello, I'm from Atlanta and a member of the class of 2023. I attended The Westminster Schools in Atlanta and The Hotchkiss School, a boarding school in rural Connecticut. I'm interested in Product Design, Symbolic Systems, Psychology, and Economics. As a long-time avid visual artist, I love the design process, from brainstorming to visualizing to critiquing. I hope to combine my interest in design with technology and entrepreneurship to make new inventions to solve problems. In addition, I'm interested in behavioral economics and how consumers react.
