About Me

My interests are in brain-machine interfaces (BMI). My research focuses on improving the accuracy and user-friendliness of cortical neuroprosthetic systems through machine learning and signal processing techniques.

 

I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics at Purdue University in 2004, and I received my Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science from Duke University in 2010. My graduate advisor was Craig Henriquez.

 

I currently work in the National Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University.
