Hui(Norbert) Zheng

Ph.D. student @ PKU AAIS

About Me

I am a 3rd-year Ph.D. candidate in the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies at Peking University. My advisor is Dr. Yunzhe Liu. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Hongyi Honor College at Wuhan University, China.

Previously, I was a visiting student at Tsinghua University, advised by Dr. Bin Liu, National Institute of Biological Sciences, advised by Dr. Minmin Luo, Peking University, advised by Dr. Si Wu.

Research Interests

My research interests lie on computational neuroscience and brain decoding.

I utilize the quantitative and computational thinking to understand our brain better. Specifically, I bind computations of artificial and brain networks to understand the hippocampal-cortical interaction, e.g. replay.

I also use machine learning tools to understand neural code. Specifically, I use advanced deep learning methods to decode brain recordings, e.g., EEG, MEG, sEEG.

Drop me a line if you are also interested in computational neuroscience, or brain decoding research!
