About Me

I am a junior professor chair at the Laboratory Jean Alexandre Dieudonné and NeuroMod Institute at Université Côte d’Azur. Before that, I was an assistant professor at the School of Systems Science at Beijing Normal University. Before that, I was a post-doc researcher at Group for Neural Theory, École Normale Supérieure (ENS, Paris), where I work with Srdjan Ostojic and the whole incredible ‘LOW-RANK’ team. Before that, I completed my Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience at Peking University (PKU) in Beijing, China, under the supervision of Louis Tao. Before that I got my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering & Automation. So you see, I do have a quite interdisciplinary training background.

As a theoretical neuroscientist and artificial intelligence enthusiast, my passion lies in advancing the understanding of biologically constrained network connectivity and neuronal computations. My research focuses on the intersection of biological and artificial neural networks, with the goal of establishing theoretical frameworks and biologically rational algorithms that can shed light on the structures, dynamics, and relationships between these two domains; as well as identify neural computational mechanisms that support flexible behavior using both artificial networks and analytical framework. Through my work, I aim to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the brain, and, ultimately, to the development of more effective and biologically inspired network systems.
