She began by applying adeno-associated virus to trace presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons in non-human primate brain. She received her B.E. in Pharmaceutical Engineering at Sichuan University in 2019, M.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Duke University in 2021, and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University. Her graduate studies are taking place in the Biomicroscopy Lab, where she will be developing novel optical setups for all-optical interrogation of neural circuits. The goal is to perform optogenetic stimulation that mimics recorded natural neuronal firing patterns with high spatiotemporal precision. She expects to graduate in May 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21016,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/5314"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21016"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/5314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5316,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/5314\/revisions\/5316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neurophotonics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
