I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Machine Learning and Neural Computing in Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour at Radboud University, the Netherlands. I am also a member of Dutch Brain Interface Initiative (DBI2), a multi-institude consortium backed by a substantial 10-year grant totaling € 21.9M.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Dec. 2019 from University of Groningen, the Netherlands, advised by Prof. Ming Cao. I received my M.E. from Wuhan University in 2015. From 2020 to 2023, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher with Prof. Fabio Pasqualetti in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Riverside.
