She had a joint postdoc with Dr. Silvia Bunge (UC Berkeley) and Dr. Brad Schlaggar (Washington University School of Medicine) before starting the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience lab in the Psychology Department at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Church-Lang has a strong interest in how cognitive control processes develop over age, and in how research on atypical development illuminates the vulnerable aspects of cognitive development. Dr. Church-Lang is the former head of the Austin neuroimaging site of the Texas Learning Disabilities Research Center project on reading intervention and brain change (<a href=\"http:\/\/texasldcenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">texasldcenter.org<\/a>).\u00a0 Research in the lab currently focuses on the development of cognitive control and academic skills in late childhood and adolescence, and the role of the brain\u2019s putative control networks in learning change over intervention, educational interruption, or puberty. To address these topics, the lab uses behavioral methods such as cognitive tests, neuropsychological assessments, actigraphy, neuroimaging (fMRI, resting-state fcMRI, DWI), and studies of patient populations (e.g. children with ADHD, or dyslexia).<\/p><ul class=\"uagb-team__social-list\"><li class=\"uagb-team__social-icon\"><a href=\"http:\/\/labs.la.utexas.edu\/church-lang\/files\/2025\/08\/jchurchlang-cv-Jun2025.pdf\" aria-label=\"file-pdf\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-team__social-icon\"><a href=\"mailto:church@austin.utexas.edu\" aria-label=\"envelope\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-team__social-icon\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=yepGN30AAAAJ&amp;hl=en\" aria-label=\"google\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-e34fc9c9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-14b744cd\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Post-doctoral Scholars<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-team uagb-team__image-position-left uagb-team__align-left uagb-team__stack-tablet uagb-block-a88d0fa7\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-team__image-crop-square\" src=\"http:\/\/labs.la.utexas.edu\/church-lang\/files\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-03-at-1.53.26-PM.png\" alt=\"\" height=\"375\" width=\"375\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><div class=\"uagb-team__content\"><h3 class=\"uagb-team__title\">Tin Nguyen, Ph.D.<\/h3><span class=\"uagb-team__prefix\">Postdoctoral Fellow<\/span><p class=\"uagb-team__desc\">Tin is drawn to figuring out and implementing ways and tools to elevate the lives of individuals facing disadvantaged circumstances and headwinds in life\u2014through community services and scientific research.
