About Me

I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at the Affective, Neuroscience, and Decision-making Lab (ANDLab) at University of Macau (UM). Prior to this, I got my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). My research focuses on

1. Investigating how different forms of knowledge are encoded and retrieved in the human brain, and how these representations guide behavior.
2. Building on this, I study emotion representations by integrating computational models with multimodal neural data (EEG, sEEG, fMRI) to uncover how emotions are processed and influence social decisions.
3. Developing emotion-aware AI systems grounded in computational models of human emotional processing.

Research Topics
