About me

I am passionate about circuit neuroscience with immense curiosity. At Karolinska Institute, I aim to identify the core brain area that controls posture as a solid base to rescue multiple diseases leading to postural instability. Scientific discussion is the main source of my passion. For me, success means loving what I do, and thus bringing joy to people surround me.

20 years of research experience in movement control (humans, mice, rabbits, and primitive vertebrates) makes me realize my mission in this field is to study the mechanisms with playfulness. I am so fascinated by the motor circuitry and its similarities between spices.

I am also a book addict, mainly interested in philosophy, popular science, psychology, and spirituality.
