About Me

I am currently a postdoc researcher in Tsinghua University, working with Prof. Jun Zhu at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. Before that, I received the PhD degree from Tsinghua University (Aug 2019 - Jul 2023), co-advised by Prof. Yi Zhong at the School of Life Sciences and Prof. Jun Zhu at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. I received the BS degree also from Tsinghua University (Aug 2013 - Jul 2017), with major in biological science and minor in computer science. I was a visiting scholar in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Jun 2016 to Sep 2016), advised by Prof. Yingxi Lin at Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. I was a participant in Tsinghua-Huawei Large Granularity Long Term Cooperation Project (Sep 2019 to May 2022), working with Dr. Lanqing Hong and Dr. Zhenguo Li in Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab.

I have an interdisciplinary background in neuroscience and machine learning. My primary research interest lies in the development of bio-inspired machine learning methodologies and generic computational models for neuroscience. The current focus includes continual / incremental / lifelong learning and transfer learning, by exploring “natural algorithms” in biological learning and memory. I’m also exploring AI algorithms that serve other scientific domains. Welcome discussion and collaboration if you are interested in my research.
