ABOUT ME

Hello! I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. My current research focuses on investigating the organization of large-scale human brain networks and their roles in higher-order cognitive functions, such as language processing, social inference and memory. By combining individual-focused neuroimaging with computational approaches, I characterize parallel networks and their functional specialization within juxtaposed regions across the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, striatum and thalamus. As part of this work, I recently developed the DU15NET atlases, a novel 15‑network parcellation that aligns with current understanding of human network organization. I also collaborate with clinicians to map networks within individual patients and use these personalized maps to inform improved neurosurgical and neuromodulation approaches. Before joining the Buckner lab as a postdoctoral researcher, I completed my PhD at Fudan University and spent the final two years of my doctoral training as a joint PhD student in the Buckner lab at Harvard University. Outside the lab, I enjoy playing basketball, exploring local restaurants, and photographing birds.
