😉🎓 I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in cognitive neuroscience working with Dr. Julie Golomb in Vision and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at The Ohio State University. Also, I am the OSU EEGlab manager！

I will join Dr. Nancy Kanwisher & Dr. Evelina Fedorenko labs as a post-doc researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology supported by Lore Harp McGovern 25th Anniversary Postdoctoral Fellowship this summer.

I got a graduate Minor degree in statistics in 2023 and a MSci degree in psychology in 2022 from The Ohio State University. And I graduated with a MSci degree in cognitive neuroscience from East China Normal University (Shanghai, China) in 2021. Also, I was a member of Memory and Emotion Lab led by Dr. Yixuan Ku in Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) and a research assistant in Peng Cheng National Laboratory (Shenzhen, China). Before that, I received a BEng degree in software engineering from Northeastern University (Shenyang, China) in 2018.

😃💡 Research Interests: To understand how we process object information in the complex and dynamics world using behavioral, EEG, fMRI and computational approaches and building more brain-like artificial vision models.

😉👻 Focused Topics:

1️⃣ Neural and behavioral mechanisms of visual perception: (A) Object-location binding; (B) Depth and 3D perception; (C) Visual and semantic representations; (D) Generally spatial representation.

2️⃣ Mapping representations between human brains and artificial neural networks: (A) Representational alignment between human brains and artificial neural networks; (B) Brain encoding models; (C) Inter-individual neural converters; (D) Reverse engineering to interpret neural mechanisms.
