Sihong Liu
Research Associate, SAL Early Childhood Education
BioDr. Sihong Liu is a Social Science Research Scholar at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, working with Dr. Philip Fisher. She earned her Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia and completed her postdoctoral training at the Center for Translational Neuroscience at the University of Oregon.
Dr. Liu’s research integrates interdisciplinary theories and methodologies to explore how early life stress across multi-level ecological contexts shapes children’s behavior, development, and health. She also employs neuroimaging, electrocardiogram, and neuroendocrine stress response assessments to investigate how early adverse experiences become biologically embedded, altering children’s neurobiological processes.
In an era marked by large-scale socio-historical events and rapid advancements in algorithm-driven technology and media, children are exposed to unprecedented levels of unpredictability. Motivated by these challenges, Dr. Liu’s recent work focuses on understanding – and mitigating – the effects of early life unpredictability on young children’s development. Guided by a translational neuroscience framework, she seeks to bridge research, theory, and practice by accelerating the translation from basic science to innovative practical strategies. She advances this mission through a two-pronged approach: developing interpersonal interventions (e.g., programs supporting parents, early childhood educators, and young children) and systemic solutions (e.g., policymaking and community-based initiatives) to foster resilience and promote positive early development. -
