“Zwei Dinge erfüllen das Gemüt mit immer neuer und zunehmender Bewunderung und Ehrfurcht, je öfter und anhaltender sich das Nachdenken damit beschäftigt: Der bestirnte Himmel über mir und das moralische Gesetz in mir.”
📖 About me
I am Ph.D. candidate in Individualized Interdisciplinary Program (Robotics and Autonomous Systems) at Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies (AIS) of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Yiwen Wang. Before joined CCEL in HKUST, I received my M.Eng (Zhejiang Univ. 2021) and B.Eng (Tongji Univ. 2018) in Mechanical Engineering.
My reserach interest lies in the intersection of neural science, neural engineering, machine learning, and robotics. Now I focus on developing conputational models based point process filter for understanding neural population activity and neural connectivity in Brain-machine Interfaces. And I also did some work on brain-inspired intelligence for mechanical product design.
