Jasmine Chen, M. A. Student

Jasmine completed her undergraduate degree at The University of British Columbia, where she conducted research on the function of the brain’s ventral stream in motor imagery using TMS. Now, her research interests are primarily focused on the metaperceptions of newcomer and second-generation populations! Apart from research, she loves to do anything outdoors!

Michael Kowalchuk

I began my education in 2020 with the kickoff of the Covid-19 pandemic, so studying social relations and how people interact over popular online platforms such as Zoom has been a very rewarding experience.
