Miki Matsumuro

Postdoctoral Associate, Department of Communication

Dr. Miki Matsumuro is a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Communication at Cornell University. She earned her Ph.D. in Information Science from Nagoya University, Japan, and has held various positions, including postdoc and assistant professor in Japan. Her journey led her to Penn State College of IST in April 2023, and she subsequently joined Cornell in December 2023.
Her research revolves around understanding human cognitive processes, particularly how individuals learn and apply knowledge. Recently, she has delved into the study of human body perception, employing virtual reality techniques for experiments. Her research methodologies include psychological experiments, cognitive modeling, and simulations, where she excels in utilizing cognitive architecture.
