I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Ragon Institute at MGH, MIT, and Harvard, supervised by Prof. Alex Shalek. Prior to that, I obtained my PhD degree in Microbiology and Immunology from Stanford University, under the supervision of Prof. Garry Nolan. I received my bachelor’s degree in Biology from Cornell University and Zhejiang Univeristy.

Research Interest

My doctoral research focused on:

• Experimental assay development for multiplex imaging platforms
• Computational algorithm development for single-cell multi-omic integrations
• Application of the above tools in various biological systems
