About Me

I am a researcher jointly affiliated with Zhejiang University and NANHU Brain-Computer Interface Institute. My research focuses on Brain-Computer Interfaces, particularly invasive neural encoding and decoding. My long-term goal is to advance our understanding of neural information processing and translate these insights into the next generation of intelligent brain-computer interfaces. I am especially interested in developing computational approaches that connect advances in artificial intelligence with neural engineering and neurotechnology.

I welcome opportunities to collaborate with researchers and students who share similar interests. If our research directions overlap, I would be happy to connect and explore potential collaborations.

Research Interests

Brain-Computer Interfaces: invasive neural encoding & decoding
Trustworthy AI: privacy-preserving computation, backdoor attacks

News

[May. 2026] Our paper titled “Emergent Visual Representations through Unsupervised Spiking Networks with Synaptic Pruning” was accepted at ICML 2026.
