Dr. Feng is an Assistant Professor in the Human Factors and Ergonomics Program at the Department of Psychology, North Carolina State University. She completed her undergraduate study in Applied Psychology at Zhejiang University in China, and received her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Cognitive and Engineering Psychology at the University of Toronto in Canada. During her postdoctoral training, she further expanded her research at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest on cognitive neuroscience of aging, and at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, on human factors in driving.   

Dr. Feng studies human attention and cognition, with applications of cognitive principles to human factors. On the theoretical side, she conducts research to investigate attention across an extended visual field, individual differences and age-related changes in attention and spatial skills, as well as the effects of cognitive training. On the practical side, she applies these theoretical findings to understand aging and driving, driver distraction and the design of information displays.
