Jessie Chin 
Jessie received her PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign . Given the training in both fundamental experimental psychology and applied cognitive research, she has developed interdisciplinary research interests and been working in several multidisciplinary research projects at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and University of Waterloo. 

She has broad interests in multiple topics in cognitive science, and has conducted multiple threads of research from different perspectives, including both basic laboratory research and use-inspired research. The common theme of her research is to examine the adaptation to information environments through various cognitive processes, such as information search and selection, self-regulated reading and learning across the lifespan. She is particularly interested in its relevant application to promote patient self-care and web information search.
