Assistant Professor
My research goal in human is developing the wearable device to detect stress and glucose level from photoplethysmogram (PPG), heart rate variability (HRV) and galvanic skin response(GSR).In animal uses the behavioral studies to study the cognitive functions and motor dysfunction in beta thalassemia mice, methamphetamine addition and stroke model.

Neuroscience researcher with interdisciplinary expertise in both human and animal models, focusing on translational research in stress-related psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, and neurodegeneration. Current research involves investigating behavioral and biopotential changes in preclinical models of stroke, drug addiction, and β-thalassemia using cognitive, motor, and stress-related paradigms. Skilled in applying comprehensive behavioral assessments—including memory, learning, and emotional processing tests—in rodents, alongside advanced biopotential signal acquisition and telemetric recordings to explore CNS and PNS functions.
Actively engaged in developing wearable biosensor systems for real-time human stress detection through physiological signal analysis, aiming to bridge experimental models and clinical applications. The research goal is to advance the field of translational neuroscience by integrating cellular therapies, neurotechnology, and real-time behavioral monitoring for improved understanding and treatment of complex brain disorders.
