Currently, I specialize in studying the effect of physical activity on mental health among special populations, such as those with depression, aiming to explore neurobiological markers and effective intervention. I also have a strong interest in emotion recognition and intervention based on multimodal data fusion. I look forward to making contributions to this field through my relentless efforts.
