My passion and curiosity about exploring the human brain has fueled my scientific interest since childhood. Through focusing on studying neurobiology during my bachelor’s degree, I have acquired lots of knowledge and deeper understanding in the fundamental principles and intricate functions of the brain. However, my scientific journey expanded beyond the human brain when I stumbled upon the elegantly simple yet incredibly sophisticated nervous system of the model organism, C. elegans. By recognizing its potential to unlock key insights into neuroscience, I decided to set out on a journey of exploration and discovery. Currently, my focus lies on investigating the neural circuits and their pivotal role in decision-making. By combining my neurobiology background with my research on C. elegans, I aspire to make significant contribution to the field of neuroscience and to our understanding of the brain.
