Sirui Wan is a developmental psychologist whose research explores how young people discover and define their niche. Drawing on longitudinal surveys, institutional records, meta-analyses, and field experiments, his current work examines the factors that shape individuals’ educational and career choices across childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood.
