Dr. Wang is interested in understanding what allows us humans to master complicated systems of knowledge, such as mathematics. Before joining the faculty of Rutgers, Dr. Wang received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. Her work has been featured in the Washington Post, BBC, and Smithsonian. Here at Rutgers, Dr. Wang directs the Cognition and Learning Center (CALC), where we design studies to investigate the origins of our knowledge and how we learn about the world around us. Many of the CALC studies focus on infants and young children as a model of human cognition
