About Me


​Welcome! My name is Michael Wang and I recently received my PhD in social and personality psychology from Northeastern University under my advisor, Dr. Judith Hall.

In 2012, I graduated Rutgers University summa cum laude in psychology. A year later, I enrolled in the counseling psychology program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for the next two years before transferring to the social and personality psychology program at Northeastern University in 2015.

In my spare time, I like to learn accents, play bass guitar, and practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 


*As of July 2020*

I will start working at Facebook as a full time quantitative UX researcher in the fall.

I am working towards my first blue belt stripe in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I am in the process of adopting a Blue Heeler puppy.
