I graduated from college having majored in Bioengineering. I had been working as an engineer for four years in Imaging Center at a biological institute as well as investigating neural mechanisms about central control of glycemia levels in China. Then, I pursued my PhD degree in Neuroscience from the University of Bordeaux, France. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI), US.
I use state-of-the-art in vivo imaging/electrophysiological recoding and ex vivo patch clamp techniques to interpret brain mechanisms underlying human and animal behaviors.
I am also an expert in programming single-board computer (e.g. Bpod and Arduino) for novel behavioral tasks, and data analysis by using Matlab.
My short-term goal is to study brain mechanisms for the control of ingestive behavior. Currently, I am focusing on the insular cortex and medial prefrontal cortex in processing internal body states, motivation, and reward value to direct feeding or drinking behavior.
My long-term goal is to understand how the brain integrates interoception

My long-term goal is to understand how the brain integrates interoception, external sensations, and experience to trigger human and animal behavior.
