Research Description

I am broadly interested in how brain support learning and memory. My main researches focus on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of mathematical cognition and learning. Currently, I have been exploring the construction and organization of brain network during math learning, and searching for the biomarkers to detect individual difference in math learning.
