Are you smarter than you thought? As a former gold medalist in the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad, I am very interested in the brain's activities during logical decision-making and abstract computation processes. By comparing the performance of humans and marmosets in completing higher-order cognitive tasks, I aim to quantitatively define "intelligence" and understand its evolutionary process. I'm also committed to using mathematical tools such as category theory and Lie algebra to account for the mechanisms of how intelligent agents establish and develop the world model. Feel free to join my experiments and contact with me.

Research Fields

• Quantitative Analysis and Comparison of Higher-Order Cognitive Behaviors between Humans and Marmosets (Logical Decision-Making, Path Exploration, Music Preference)
• Reinforcement learning and meta-learning models.

Research Experience

September 2020 – Present, PhD Research under Professor Xiaoqin Wang and Professor Sen Song

• Marmoset Dynamic Maze: Developed a dynamic maze with multiple paths to measure the cognitive behaviors of marmosets, utilizing visual and audio stimuli.
• Marmoset Behavior Capture System: Captured real-time actions of marmosets and analyzed their behaviors using video and audio data from specifically designed cameras.
• Human VR and Online Maze: Established a maze experiment in Unity project compatible with PC and VR device (Varjo XR-3) to quantitatively measure human's ability of adaptive learning. Set experiment platform in Elastic Compute Service to gather behavior data online.
