Lio Wong to join Brown as an assistant professor in 2027

A post recommends Wong to prospective PhD students interested in computational models of cognition and language.

lio wong
I am an incoming assistant professor at Brown University in the CoPsy↗︎ department. I am recruiting graduate students, postdocs, and a lab manager for the 2027 academic year. I am currently a postdoc at Stanford with the Cognitive Tools Lab↗︎, and work closely with the Computational Cognitive Science↗︎ and LINGO↗︎ labs at MIT.

My research asks how human minds pull off the computational feat of using language. People seem to learn language from very little data, all things considered. Our brains run on less energy than a laptop. How do we learn and use language so efficiently? How do we figure out what's useful for understanding someone else at any given time? How can we learn totally new things from language? Many of these questions intersect with broader questions about how people decide what they believe, or what is useful to think about, in any given situation. [more on Lio’s website]
