Computational Neuroscience • Complex Brain Networks • Neural Dynamics
I am currently a Ph.D. Student in the Department of Physics at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), advised by Prof. Changsong Zhou.
My research lies at the intersection of Physics and Neuroscience, focusing on unraveling the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders through the lens of Complex Network Theory and Neural Dynamics. I aim to understand how structural connectivity shapes functional dynamics in both healthy and pathological brains (Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD).
- 🔭 I’m currently working on High-order brain network analysis and Structure-function coupling.
- 🎓 I obtained my M.Sc. in Neuroscience from Xi'an University of Science and Technology.
- 🧠 I have experience investigating Integration-Segregation balance in brain networks.
