Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow

Personal Profile：

I have earned a Bachelor's degree from Dalian Medical University in 2018, a Master's degree from Dalian Medical University in 2021, and a Ph.D. from Shenzhen University in 2025.

Research Interests:

My research focuses on the interplay between stress, decision-making, metacognition, and psychological resilience. I employ a multi-method approach—including questionnaires, EEG, and fMRI—to investigate the neural mechanisms of stress and how it impacts decision-making. Building on this foundation, I further examine how targeted interventions can enhance psychological resilience and explore the neural processes that facilitate this improvement. Additionally, my work investigates how stress influences metacognition, with the goal of uncovering its neural basis and developing effective interventions.
