I am a Ph.D student at Academy for Advance Interdisciplinary Studies(AAIS), Peking University.

I graduated from School of Software Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University with a bachelor’s degree.

My research interest includes computational neuroscience, brain-inspired computing and machine learning.
