About
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Program in Neuroscience at Florida State University, advised by Dr. Aaron Wilber.
My research focuses on the neural mechanisms that support spatial navigation between the hippocampus and the cortical area, using large-scale electrophysiology in rodents. I am also interested in translational applications, including potential interventions for spatial awareness deficits in Alzheimer’s disease.
Before beginning my doctoral training, I earned a B.S. in Life Science from ShanghaiTech University, where I conducted research under the supervision of Dr. Ji Hu and Dr. Wenzhi Sun. My undergraduate work examined the role of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in avoidance learning.
