I am a postdoctoral researcher in Lab of Biological Network Computation at Institute of Neurosciences working on the single-neuron projectome of mouse cortex. I have a background in Biomedical Engineering (B.Eng) and discovered my passion for neuroscience during my bachelor. During the Master period, I studied the neural mechanism of mirror self-recognition in monkeys using fMRI technique. Then, during the Ph.D. and current postdoc periods, I focused on the reconstruction and analysis of single-neuron projectome of mouse brain to investigate the diversity of single neurons and the organizing principles of brain structural connectivity.
