I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Bioengineering of the University of Pittsburgh, and a member of Chen Lab under the supervision of Prof. Yu-Chih Chen at Hillman Cancer Center. In terms of my undergraduate study, I was at the Department of Biomedical Engineering , Southern University of Science and Technology (南方科技大学生物医学工程系), advised by Prof. Xingyu Jiang (蒋兴宇).

During my senior year, I joined Prof. Aaron Wheeler’s Lab at the University of Toronto, Canada and finished my undergraduate thesis about digital microfluidics.

My research interest includes Microfluidics, Cancer Reaserch and Nano-scale Technology.
