Xinyi Lu

Xinyi completed her undergraduate and masters degrees at the National University of Singapore. She joined the University of Waterloo as a PhD student in 2019. She has worked on many diverse projects, but always related to the broad topics of memory and learning — both within the lab as well as in applied educational contexts. Currently, she is studying how semantic categories and concepts influence both memory (what and how we remember) and metacognition (what we think we remember and know, and why).

In her spare time, she is usually reading, binging shows, and thrifting. She enjoys travel and collecting vintage fashion. Click here to check out her website.
