Biography:

Hi there! My name is Yi Feng–but please feel free to just call me Yi! I am currently an Assistant Professor in Quantitative Psychology at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My work primarily focuses on advanced quantitative methods and their application in psychology and education research. I have specific research interests in structural equation modeling (SEM), latent growth models, random variability modeling, power analysis/sample size determination, and causal graphical models. I currently teach a graduate-level course on structural equation modeling (Psych M257) during the winter quarter and an undergraduate introduction to statistics (Psych 100A) in the spring quarter.
