About Me

I am a researcher and doctoral supervisor at the Center for Brain and Brain-Machine Integration Frontiers, Zhejiang University. I am also affiliated with the State Key Laboratory of Brain-Machine Intelligence and serve as an adjunct researcher at the Zhejiang University Center for Mental Health. I supervise students in Computer Science and Technology and Biomedical Engineering.

My research focuses on artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, neural information pattern recognition, and brain-inspired computing. Since 2010, I have been working on robust neural decoding in complex clinical environments, with representative work published in Nature Human Behaviour, NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, IEEE TNNLS, and IEEE TBME.

I welcome motivated students, postdoctoral researchers, and research assistants who are interested in neural signal processing, machine learning, and brain-inspired intelligence.
