My name is Rui (pronounced as “Ray”) Pei, and I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab. I study the risky behaviors that can have social consequences, or social risk taking (e.g., reaching out to a stranger to build a new friendship). I take a multi-method approach to answer these questions, including in-lab and large-scale experimental paradigms, machine learning, computational neuroimaging techniques, longitudinal modeling, and social network analysis.


I completed a B.Sc of Cognitive Neuroscience at Brown University and a Ph.D. in Communication at the University of Pennsylvania (Advisor: Dr. Emily Falk). I also did an internship at the Social Computing Group at Microsoft Research Asia between January and August, 2018.
