Department of Scientific Computing student Yifan Wang has been accepted to participate in COGNESTIC 2026, an international training program hosted by the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit that brings together early-career researchers working at the intersection of neuroscience, cognition, and computational methods. The program will take place this September and provides selected participants with intensive workshops, lectures from leading scientists, and collaborative research opportunities.

Yifan’s acceptance to COGNESTIC reflects the strength of the Department of Scientific Computing’s interdisciplinary research and its growing involvement in data-driven approaches to understanding brain and cognitive systems. Participation in this program will allow Yifan to engage with an international community of researchers while further developing computational and analytical techniques relevant to modern cognitive and brain science.
