M.S. RESEARCHER · BRAIN-INSPIRED INTELLIGENCE

In computational neuroscience, I frame connectivity recovery as a structural inverse problem, identifying latent edges, directionality, and interaction strength from bandwidth-limited dynamics. In decision science, I study how collective opinions emerge and evolve, with particular attention to minority value and the roles of trust and social influence in information aggregation and consensus.

I studied Big Data Management and Application at Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology and am currently pursuing an M.S. in Management Science and Engineering at the National University of Defense Technology, with a focus on brain-inspired intelligence.
