DongWon Oh is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He is a 2024 APS Rising Star and an SESP (Society of Experimental Social Psychology) Fellow. He directs MAP Lab (Multi-Sociocontextual Action and Perception Lab), and is affiliated with the NUS Centre for Computational Social
Science and Humanities and AI Institute.
DongWon's research examines how people form impressions and navigate social interactions across real-world and digitally mediated contexts. His work integrates social psychology, cognitive science, and computational methods—including machine learning, network modeling, multivariate neuroimaging analysis, and eye-tracking—to understand impression formation, strategic self-presentation, and human-AI interaction. His recent projects investigate how people detect AI-generated faces, bear differential impression management burdens across social groups, and adapt real-time impressions during naturalistic conversations.
Before joining NUS, DongWon received his PhD from Princeton (advisor: Alex Todorov) and a postdoc at New York University and Columbia University (advisor: Jon Freeman).
