I am an assistant professor and master supervisor at Shenzhen University. I obtained my master’s degree in Basic Psychology in 2009 and my Ph.D. in 2017, both from Beijing Normal University. I have published over twenty papers as the first author or corresponding author in top journals such as the Journal of Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex and Neuroimage. I had been the principal investigator for one project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and one project funded by China Postdoctoral Science Foundation. I currently participated in four projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Additionally, I hold a title with high-level talent in Shenzhen.
