I completed my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University and then pursued my master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Dalian University of Technology. During my master's, I focused on sleep research, specifically music-based interventions for insomnia and the effect of obstructive sleep apnea on sleep-dependent memory consolidation. Currently, as a PhD student in Genzel’s lab, my research is on schema learning and sleep-related memory consolidation. My work involves analyzing local field potential in rats and participating in the Human HexMaze project.
