Sanghoon Kang

Sanghoon was a PGA in the CAMS Lab, where he developed new behavioral tasks to investigate memory generalization and habit formation in risky drinking. He is now a PhD student in Psychology at Yale working with Sam McDougle.

Sanghoon graduated summa cum laude from Seoul National University, February of 2021. As an undergraduate, he worked with Dr. Chey in the Clinical Neuroscience Lab, and with Dr. Ahn in the Computational Clinical Science Lab. During his time there, he worked on projects concerning the role of context in memory modification, and the role of the hippocampus in decision-making. He aims to build on this interest concerning the adaptability of memory, by understanding it in the context of other cognitive/affective processes, including but not limited to stress, contextual cognition and decision-making.
