About Me

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Tsinghua University. Before that, I received both the BS degree (Aug 2013 - Jul 2017, advised by Prof. Yi Zhong) and PhD degree (Aug 2019 - Jul 2023, co-advised by Prof. Yi Zhong and Prof. Jun Zhu) from Tsinghua University, where I also conducted my postdoc research (Jul 2023 - Jul 2025, working with Prof. Jun Zhu). 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.
