Background
  • Exploring the fascinating worlds of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, both in academia and industry. Main passion is to understand the neural principle of how our brains and spinal cord coordinate movement. Aiming to enhance our understanding of movements of both healthy and diseased individuals and to pioneer innovative technologies that improve lives.
Miscellany
  • Based in New York, NY; active on social media including Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, and Google Scholar.
