Graduate Students
Amy Than, (she/her)
Amy Than is a PhD student in the UCLA Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Physiology and Neuroscience from UC San Diego. She has done clinical research at the California Smokers' Helpline and behavioral neuroscience research at the Scripps Research Institute where she became interested in how the brain perceives and interacts with the world. At the SCAN lab, Amy is working with Dr. Green to study the neural mechanisms of sensory processing, the developmental trajectories of social versus sensory reactivity, and the dynamic networks that regulate sensory over-responsivity in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Siobhan Glynn, (she/her)
Siobhan Glynn is a Ph.D. student in UCLA’s Psychology Department, specializing in Developmental Psychology and minoring in Quantitative Psychology. She received her B.A. in Psychology from Bryn Mawr College in 2017 and later worked as a behavioral analysis therapist as well as a research network coordinator in Boston. Siobhan is currently interested in how children and adolescents learn and recognize emotions, especially for those who may have divergent experiences processing emotions or sensory information, like youth with ASD or exposure to early adversity. Through her research, she aims to identify mechanisms that help explain social versus sensory reactivity and attention through a combination of behavioral, physiological, and neuroimaging methods. In her free time, she enjoys singing, thrifting and antiquing, bachata dancing with her friends, and playing with her cats, Salem and Zonie.
Wendy Qi, (she/her)
Wendy Qi is a PhD student in UCLA's Psychology Department.
Study Coordinators
Katie Wong (She/Her)
Katie Wong is a Staff Research Associate at the SCAN lab. She graduated from UCLA with two degrees- one in Psychology and the other in Political Science. She is currently coordinating a cross-sectional study on sensory processing in autism. Outside of the lab, Katie enjoys going on long runs, exploring LA with her friends, and spending time with her dogs.
Karrin Evans (she/her)
Karrin Evans is a Clinical Research Coordinator at the SCAN Lab. She graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Neuroscience and a minor in Education Studies. She is currently coordinating a longitudinal study on sensory processing development in youth with autism. Outside of work, Karrin enjoys cooking, cafe hopping, and hanging out with her cat.
Undergraduate Research Assistants
Feizah Teope, (She/Her), Neuroscience, Class of 2026
Feizah is interested in autism research with a focus on how scientific findings can directly inform occupational therapy practices and real-world interventions. She is passionate about bridging the gap between research and hands-on support for neurodivergent individuals. Outside of the lab, Feizah enjoys collecting vinyl records, reading, and spending time with her family and friends.
Eryn Hong, (She/Her), Neuroscience, Class of 2027
Eryn is interested in research involving psychological and neurodevelopmental disorders/behaviors, with a particular focus in children and adolescents. She aspires to pursue a career in medicine, where she hopes to combine clinical care with research to make meaningful contributions to the field. Outside of the lab, Eryn enjoys taking long walks, baking, going to yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
Anna Kuang, (she/her), Psychobiology, Class of 2026
Anna is interested in research on the sensory processing aspect in autism spectrum disorder. She is also fascinated by the genetic and neurological components underlying schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. In her free time, Anna enjoys acting, watching movies, and reading science fiction.
