Learning Assistants Spring 2026

Hi, I'm Sean, a senior biology major! This year, I'll be the LA for both FoB1 and Organic Chemistry 2, two of my favorite classes! Yay! I currently do cell biology research with Professor Li, but I also have some experience in computational biology in Professor Sanjana's lab. And finally, a fun fact about me is that I used to be a LSAT tutor for 7Sage! Please feel free to stop by in the ARC and say hi!

Hi there! My name is Emily Zhuang from Class of 2026, pursuing a major in Biology and a cross-school minor in Dance. I’m also on the pre-health track; I hope to enter medical school! In my free time, I enjoy dancing and having late night bike rides with my friends. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns — it doesn’t just have to be academics. Hope to see you all!

Hi! I’m Haoyun, a senior majoring in Neural Science with minors in Mathematics and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I will serve as a Learning Assistant for Introduction to Linguistics and Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience this semester. My academic interests center on neurolinguistics, and I’m currently conducting research on how the brain perceives and predicts phonemes, with a particular focus on the Shanghai dialect. Outside of academics, you can always find me at the gym or out enjoying outdoor activities. I’m excited to support your learning journey in Neural Science!

Hi! I’m Xinbei Li, a senior majoring in Neural Science and Mathematics. I’m interested in human sleep, memory transformation, and computational cognitive models. As a Learning Assistant, I’m here to think through ideas together when things feel confusing, whether it’s about course material or broader academic questions. Outside of academics, I enjoy bouldering, music, and photography. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi, I'm Yolanda, a Neural Science senior with minors in Physics & Mathematics. My academic interest lies in the neurobiology of auditory perception. I currently study the neural mechanisms of imagined speech, using machine learning to analyze intracranial neural recordings. Outside of academics, I play the oboe and enjoy musicals. I look forward to supporting you in General Physics and/or Multivariable Calculus, and wish you the best of luck with your studies!
