Two academics-cum-researchers from SCNU are named in the Top 2% Scientists of the world according to Stanford University, USA. The researchers are Carol A. Seger of the School of Psychology and Wang Jinhui of the Institute for Brain research and Rehabilitation.

Prof. Carol A. Seger was ranked for her research publication citation for the subject of imaging in neurology for the year 2020, and her life time contribution (as a career scientist) in neuroscience research up to the year 2020. She has been studying the cognitive neural mechanisms of human learning and decision-making by way of neuroimaging, and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) technology in particular. Besides, she has published more than 100 authoritative international academic papers. Among them, her paper Category learning in the brain in Annual Review of Neuroscience (Impact Factor 20.6) as the first author, has produced a profound international impact. Another study on the cognitive neuropsychology of implicit learning has also won the National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Mental Health in the US.

Graduated from the Department of Psychology at Harvard University in 1987, Professor Seger, received her PhD in psychology from the University of California (Los Angeles) in 1994, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University from 1994 to 1998. She is currently a Distinguished Professor of SCNU, and also a fellow of the American Association of Psychological Sciences (APS).

Dr. Wang Jinhui, was selected for his research publication citation for the subject of neuroscience for the year 2020. His research centers on applying multimodal neuro-imaging technology to the methodology and clinical application of complex brain networks. He has published more than 60 papers in international mainstream academic journals such as Biological Psychiatry, Radiology, NeuroImage, Human Brain Mapping, etc., many of which were selected as journal cover papers and ESI Top 1% highly cited papers.

Dr. Wang Jinhui has been the first and only Chinese scholar to win the Somerfeld-Ziskind Research Award from Society of Biological Psychiatry. He joined SCNU through its top-notch talent program in 2018, and was selected as an outstanding young medical talent by Guangdong province in 2019. Currently he serves as the chairman of the Youth Committee of the Neuro-imaging Branch of the Chinese Neuroscience Society and the deputy editor of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

About the Stanford Ranking

Stanford University has listed over 150,000 scientists out of nearly 7 million, whose published research has accelerated progress in their respective fields. The scientists have been selected based on Scopus (abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature) that ranks journals and gives a citation index. It is also ranked on the basis of standardized citation indications which include information on the number of citations, H-Index, co-authorship and a composite indicator of each scientist. The results have been published in PLOS Biology and have been classified into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields in the report.
