I got my BSc at Peking University in China, where I have been exploring the mysteries of neural plasticity and the Alzheimer’s Disease. Since I started at UChicago, I gradually developed my interest in system neuroscience and decided to join the Maunsell lab, where I study how cortical spike rate increases and decreases are readout and used for guiding behaviors. When I’m not at my Rig, I enjoy traveling, doing sports, and playing music.
