 I’m a PhD student in Amsterdam UMC under supervision of Guido van Wingen, Karin Verweij, and Abdel Abdellaoui. I started my PhD project from September 2019. My research interest is to understand the underlying mechanisms of brain disorders and cognition by combining genetic and neuroimaging information. Through linking polygenic score and gene expression to brain structure and function, we hope to find how brain mediates the processes from genes to complex traits.

I got the bachelor’s degree at the Harbin Engineering University in 2016. Since then, I did my master project at the Brainnetome Center, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2019, I got the funding support by China Scholarship Council to start the PhD in Amsterdam.
