About Lab Director Patricia Chen
Welcome to my lab! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin, where I direct the Motivation and Self-Regulation Lab. I obtained my Ph.D. in Social Psychology from The University of Michigan, and completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University. My expertise is in self-regulation, motivation, and social-psychological interventions. I am a recipient of a National Research Foundation Fellowship—an early career award bestowed by the Prime Minister's Office, Singapore, for breakthrough research ideas.
