Biography​

Tiffany Wu is a current second-year Ph.D. student in the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine with a specialization in Educational Policy and Social Context (EPSC).

She earned her MSc in Education (Child Development and Education) from the University of Oxford in 2018, graduating with distinction, and her B.A. in Psychology at the University of California, Irvine where she graduated cum laude in 2017.

Tiffany has been largely involved in education and research throughout her academic career through dedicating her time to teaching students of all ages and working as a research assistant at the Universities of California, Irvine and Riverside. As a research assistant, she assisted in projects investigating adolescents' susceptibility to social influences and a longitudinal study examining relations between children's representations and emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal regulation. Her Master's thesis focused on examining the effects of various feedback types on children's motivation and self-efficacy beliefs in public school settings.

​
Her interests are in early childhood education and health policy as well as interventions that support children, particularly in poverty and ethnic minority groups. She is currently examining the role of administrative burden of childcare funding policies within the U.S. and is also involved in a mixed-methods project examining school choice in California.
