Hi there! This is Xiaoshan. I have a background of Educational Psychology, and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Learning Sciences at McGill University in Quebec, Canada. I work with Dr. Susanne Lajoie (Canada Research Chair, Tier 1). I was born in Shenzhen, China.

My research focuses on learners' cognitive and affective experience in technology-rich contexts. I am also interested in teachers' mental well-beings and coping strategies in the online contexts. I am currently investigating learners' social-emotional interactions and emotion regulation in computer-supported collaborative learning. I am committed to using advanced technologies to benefit learners' social emotional interactions and aid collaborators' decision-making in problem-solving tasks.
