PhD in Psychology, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, School of Psychology and Cognitive Science, East China Normal University; Post-doctoral research fellow, Fudan University; Visiting student, Center of Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR), University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA. Research interests focus on the cognitive neuroscience mechanisms underlying neuromodulation, employing multimodal magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiological techniques to investigate the effects of invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation approaches on cognitive function. This includes elucidating their mechanisms of action and optimizing treatment protocols for psychiatric disorders.
